Geoclue2 provides geolocation services, that is, it lets
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
applications find the user's geographical position. A mapping
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
application could use this to present a "where am I" view, for
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
example.

Geoclue2 intends to be able to provide positioning information
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
in several ways: from the GPS in a WWAN modem, from a Wi-Fi
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
access point's data, or from the computer's IP address.

Geoclue2 also intends to provide privacy for users who do not want
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
to reveal their geographical location. Only applications allowed
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
by the user will be able to get geolocation information.
