Geoclue uses this service for determining a user's location when requested by other applications. The only supported alternative by upstream is to use Google's Geolocation Service. To use Google's Geolocation Service, an API key must be used, and a configuration file must be created. This API key is only intended for use with LFS. Please do not use this API key if you are building for another distro or distributing binary copies. If you need an API key, you can request one at . Create the configuration needed for using Google's Geolocation Service as the &root; user: cat >> /etc/geoclue/conf.d/90-lfs-google.conf << "EOF" # Begin /etc/geoclue/conf.d/90-lfs-google.conf # This configuration applies for the WiFi source. [wifi] # Set the URL to Google's Geolocation Service. url=https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=AIzaSyDxKL42zsPjbke5O8_rPVpVrLrJ8aeE9rQ # End /etc/geoclue/conf.d/90-lfs-google.conf EOF If you do not wish to request your location from a Geolocation service, you can hardcode your location in /etc/geolocation using the format described in geoclue(5).
