As an Android user, is it possible to modify my phone to use this service instead of Google's? Is it possible to upload the database directly to a phone or replace an APK to achieve this?
- ganomi 12y agoThe NOGAPPS project lists Mozilla Location Service support as an upcoming feature (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715375 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715375).
- tonylemesmer 12y agoGreat! And although that post was made June 2012 I note it has been maintained and has recent updates.
- hannosch 12y agoHanno from Mozilla here. Marvin reached out to us about a month back and we have been slow to respond. He just got an email back a week ago. So I think this is still going to happen, but no concrete timeline yet.
- cpeterso 12y agoYou can test the Mozilla Location Service with Firefox on your desktop by changing your "geo.wifi.uri" about:config pref to: https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test Then try using a geolocation service like Google Maps or http://html5demos.com/geo http://html5demos.com/geo . If it can't find your location, check Mozilla's zoomable coverage map to see if your neighborhood is covered: https://location.services.mozilla.com/map https://location.services.mozilla.com/map . If not, please consider installing Mozilla Stumbler to help map it. :)
