What kinds of things use the location services neo-stumbler contributes to? It seems like a super cool project and I have the app, but I don't fully understand what I'm contributing to or actually improving when I used it
Like which projects make use of the services it improves, and benefit from my using the app?
The main target you can contribute to is beacondb.net.
MicroG, the FOSS replacement for Google Services on Android, can use beacondb to provide network location data.
Various geolocation and map services for Linux (can) also use beacondb.
Previously, Mozilla Location Services would be used, but those have been shut down due to a bogus patent claim.
Huh, thank you so much for the answer, I appreciate it!
Go to beacondb.net, there is ongoing documentation. Currently Firefox, geoclue (Linux) and microG.
Theoretically a client app on Android could be done, as there is the option "spoof location" for some reason, which works without special system integration
Thats super cool, thanks!
