Geoloquent
Location service for desktop and mobile Linux
Geoloquent is a memory safe re-implementation of the Geoclue2 D-Bus location service API from freedesktop.org. Location services are used by location-aware apps within projects like Gnome and KDE and they range from utilities with low location accuracy requirements (automatic timezone and night-mode setting) to GPS navigation apps and sports tracking apps. Geoloquent is implemented in Rust with the Tokio async framework. The requirements for an improved, but backwards compatible location service API will be explored during the project in collaboration with the user community.
