Location Services

Location Provider

2024-03-16

On devices with Google apps installed, there are some „Location Providers“ already available – but not everybody likes to share his location with Google. Luckily, there are alternatives – GApps installed or not. These are usually working with UnifiedNlp, a component of microG. If you want to contribute to coverage and quality, please see below, WLAN WarDriving and Monitoring & Mapping.

Important note: starting with version 0.2.28, microG no longer supports the UnifiedNLP modules. See here for details on possible future support.
