Problem with adding patch to get location working
Hello, I'm trying to add microG to my OS by following the microG wiki (very well written!) However, I'm not able to add the additional patch(https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch) to make location work (mentioned here - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation)

Location without Google Services
https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp - acts as a middle ware for multiple backends which have network location features.

[Alitoh] How is the GPS now
MicroG has a list of NLP modules. Afaik it doesn't harm having several installed and working concurrently. The list here: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp

Degoogle Samsung devices
Get UnifiedNLP - essentially does Locations services but not google
-
Full GPS (Tested) but no tracking of vehicle (Android Auto)
Another option would be to use an other location provider than google, like unifiedNLP.

offline navigation apps & lineage
I assume you are talking about microG. I have no personal experience with this because I've always just installed Gapps, but I wasn't under the impression UnifiedNLP or similar required microG. The installation instructions for UnifiedNLP just talk about downloading a couple APKs, and maybe installing as system apps (https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/HEAD/README.md). I do see that the app itself is made by the microG project, but it does make the claim (in several places I've found while searching) that "most" ROMs support it. What am I missing?
- "MozillaNlpBackend successfully installed" Should I be worried?

Location Services Not Accurate / Not Working Properly
Here's a link to more location backends, you can rule out 4 or 5 since some are old and others are for China.

Mozilla will be retiring the Mozilla Location Service
The rather troubling part of this announcement in a GitHub issue is that this nugget comes out in a seemingly innocuous comment[1]:
>> Firefox still uses MLS for `browser.region.network.url`; will that also move to Google Location Services?
> This endpoint will be migrated to another service (classify-client) that will return the expected response. We'll adjust DNS entries when it's time to make that move so firefox won't see any difference.
What exactly is this "classify-client" service?
Note also this led me to discover for the first time that this is a thing[2]:
> Geolocation for default search engine
> In order to set the right default search engine for your location, Firefox will perform a geolocation lookup once by contacting Mozilla's servers and store the country-level result locally. This connection happens on the first start of Firefox – in case you want to prohibit that, you will have to preconfigure the browser and set the browser.search.geoip.url preference to a blank string.

WiGLE: Wireless Network Mapping
I don't know what WiGLE users do with the data, but the WiGLE admins sold Wi-Fi location data to Microsoft to bootstrap Bing Maps back in the day.
I helped bootstrap Mozilla's Location Service (MLS) to support geolocation on Firefox OS without Google Location Services. Mozilla even had its own Wi-Fi "wardriving/stumbling" app (MozStumbler https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler) and an opt-in stumbler in Firefox Android. But once Firefox OS was retired, there wasn't much need for MLS. However, Mozilla still runs a Wi-Fi geolocation service open to other projects (like GNOME's Geoclue service).
Mozilla also publishes cell tower location data and shares with the OpenCellID stumbling project. I worked with Mozilla's privacy and security teams to see if we could publish the Wi-Fi location data, but we didn't find a privacy-preserving way to do that.

Mozilla, Google, and Manifest V3
Google mainly makes a search engine deal and pays Mozilla to use Google Location services rather than Mozilla's. Google doesn't control the development of Firefox, or its browser engine Gecko (at least directly, they do maniplulate the market so other browsers are forced to implement their stuff, Manifest v3 itself being an example).
