  <title>Geographical position not published</title>

  <p>
    If your contacts cannot see your location, <app>Empathy</app> might not be able
    to discover with a good margin of precision your geographical position.
  </p>
  <p>
    In this case, your position will not be published, but you are still able to
    see the location of your contacts.
  </p>
  <p>
    If you want to publish your geographical position, you can try to use an
    external device such as a GPS.
  </p>

  <note>
    <p>In order to publish your geographical location, your Jabber server
    needs to support the Personal Eventing Protocal (PEP).  A list of
    <link href="http://coccinella.im/servers/servers_by_pubsub_pep.html">servers
    which support PEP</link> is maintained online.  Google Talk
    does not support this feature at this time.</p>
