Due too difficulties with Guix System on my laptop I did not had the
chance to test this patch.

Hello Jonathan,

did you have a chance to test the change in the meantime? It looks good,
but I am hesitant to apply it as long as nobody has tried it out.
Maybe also change the comment here:
    ;; Mozilla geolocation service:
-   (default "https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=geoclue"))
+   (default "https://api.beacondb.net/v1/geolocate"))

No, not yet. Further I think we should use `geoclue_guix.gnu.org` as
key. That's at least how NixOS does it and I asked in BeaconDB's matrix
room, where they confirmed "APPLICATIONNAME_DISTROURL".

Seems like a good idea.
