What's up with location services? (lemmy.world)

I'm glad microg set up shop here on Lemmy! Here's the first topic. The most recent release dumped unified nlm, and I want to know what that means for the future. I just found a new module, that works great, and now it is useless when I upgrade microg.

I searched everywhere, but there's no discussion about how to get features like locally built data points or downloading tower and WiFi databases.

Mozilla nlm requires internet, which I suppose is fine for most of the time, but when camping in the wilderness, is kinda useless.

Is there any news?

What about LocalGsmNlpBackend?

What about it? All existing NLM libraries are useless in the newest version of MicroG. I want to know if we are now stuck with the Mozilla one forever or if others will be able to hook up to the new location service soon.

Mozilla requires a live network, but my devices only have WiFi so that's a problem.
