Title:
Support for Mozilla Location Service (A-GPS)
Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Currently, A-GPS is only available on commercial UT-devices through
Nokia HERE. This is a real problem for users of community ports (like
those provided by ubports.com). Also, the HERE service is closed
source and proprietary, that's kind of odd for the free operating
system we all want Ubuntu Touch to be.
I suggest that we try to implement the Mozilla Location Service, which
is a free and open source location service:
https://location.services.mozilla.com/
There is a bounty on Bountysource on this:
