AFAIK Gears is an additional browser API that websites can use, in this case to locate the user. I could be wrong though, as I'm not that familiar with either (not to mention that I feel like I'm not capable of thinking straight today, I should be sleeping already...).
My contact with Gears is minimal, so I'm not sure if it's possible for a Gears implementation to say "I only implement the location API". I'm not even sure Google is designing the API with other implementations (than theirs) in mind... Gears is open source, so we should definitely talk to the developers. I'm sure they're mostly looking for cross-platform solutions. In this case there probably aren't any, so Geoclue might be interesting to them. - Jussi
