Hi Garvan,

Glad you are looking into this. :)

> There is the pure DBUS method in the where-am-i example, or one can use the geoclue interface header to get a nicer-looking interface. The former has an advantage as it has minimal build dependencies, and can easily query at runtime if geoclue2 is available, and if so, run the DBUS query service for it.

The headers for the wrapper are not installed but the interface xml is
so recommend way right now is to generate bindings from this interface
yourself. If glib depenency isn't an issue, I'd suggest you use
gdbus-codegen to generate the bindings just like geoclue is doing as
part of your build.

There has been some discussion about geoclue providing a high-level
API in a library but nobody has had the time to implement that yet:
