The document discusses location awareness technologies in MeeGo, including GeoClue which allows applications to access location data simply through D-Bus. It provides examples of how location data could be used in applications like bus schedules, business listings, maps, and travel guides. GeoClue is supported on platforms like Ubuntu, GNOME 3, MeeGo, and Qt Mobility to provide easy location access across devices and software.

“A D­Bus service that applications can
use to become location aware. Makes
reading and writing geographical
information as simple and easy as time
or date.”

A person determines her surroundings
through the five human senses. Software
doesn’t operate in a vacuum, either;
through connections to hardware and
other software, it can sense much about
the user’s situation.

...the most interesting spatial landmark
is usually “here.” Obviously, a software
roadmap needs to know the user’s
location, but so does the bus schedule, as
well as business listings, transportation
planners, travel guides, and much other
information software.
