If your contacts cannot see your location, Empathy might not be able to discover with a good margin of precision your geographical position.
In this case, your position will not be published, but you are still able to see the location of your contacts.
If you want to publish your geographical position, you can try to use an external device such as a GPS.
In order to publish your geographical location, your Jabber server needs to support the Personal Eventing Protocal (PEP). A list of servers which support PEP is maintained online. Google Talk does not support this feature at this time.
