When the Geolocation Redirection feature is enabled for a remote desktop or published application, you can share the client system's location information with the remote desktop or published application.
To share the location information of the local device, you must enable the geolocation settings in Horizon Client.
Prerequisites
An administrator must configure the Geolocation Redirection feature for the remote desktop or published application. This task includes enabling the Geolocation Redirection feature when you install Horizon Agent. It also includes setting group policies to configure Geolocation Redirection features, and enabling the VMware Horizon Geolocation Redirection IE Plugin.
For complete requirements, see System Requirements for Geolocation Redirection.
