To help with the transition, Angular provides the `LocationUpgradeModule`. This module enables a _unified_ location service that shifts responsibilities from the AngularJS `$location` service to the Angular `Location` service.

Once registered, all navigation, routing broadcast messages, and any necessary digest cycles in AngularJS triggered during navigation are handled by Angular. This gives you a single way to navigate within both sides of your hybrid application consistently. For usage of the `$location` service as a provider in AngularJS, you need to downgrade the `$locationShim` using a factory provider.
