<desc>Geolocation - finding the user's geographical location</desc>
</info>
<title>Geoclue2</title>
<p>
Geoclue2 provides <em>geolocation</em> services, that is, it lets
applications find the user's geographical position. A mapping
application could use this to present a "where am I" view, for
example.
</p>
<p>
Geoclue2 intends to be able to provide positioning information
in several ways: from the GPS in a WWAN modem, from a Wi-Fi
access point's data, or from the computer's IP address.
</p>
<p>
Geoclue2 also intends to provide privacy for users who do not want
to reveal their geographical location. Only applications allowed
by the user will be able to get geolocation information.
