At the command line, how do I get the current location that geoclue2 would report?
There's no man page or bin/ executable in my Arch package.
redshift (which uses geoclue2) is reporting my location as:
7.98 98.37
But google maps gives me:
9.749160, 99.975484
Is there any way to configure what sources geoclue2 uses to get better accuracy?
Most google geoclue2 searches bring up redshift which isn't too helpful :(

In my /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf, I added:
[wifi]
enable=true
I wasn't happy with the accuracy returned from Mozilla Location Service:
{"location": {"lat": 10.0981, "lng": 99.8381}, "accuracy": 25000.0}
So I setup a Google API key as noted the text:
# To use the Google geolocation service instead of mozilla's, simply uncomment
# this url while changing API_KEY to your Google API key and comment out or
# remove the url above.
#
# WARNING: Please make sure that you are complying with the Google's ToS and
# policies if you uncomment this:
#
# https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation/policies
#
# url=https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=<YOUR-KEY>
The pricing page says that 40,000 Geolocation calls are included free :)
However, I found after restarting both geoclue2 and redshift that redshift -v was reporting a worse accuracy, so I reverted to Mozilla's API (which is the default).
