Hi all!<p>We cut a 1.0 release of the Mozilla Stumbler finally.<p>Have at it. File the bugs. Complain about battery life.<p>Help us make this thing not suck and build out a proper open location service.
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?
Will this work with WiFi-only tablets? I'd like to contribute but my Kobo Arc device is marked incompatible. I saw in the screenshot on Google Play that there <i>is</i> a WiFi-only report symbol.
Any info about how multiple fixes are integrated to approximate the true location of a fix?<p>I remember reading how Wigle Wardriving calculated fixes and the method seemed unsophisticated and lame.<p>For example, if I bike down a street then fixes would be detected 100m ahead of me and always pinned to the road at my current location.<p>If I bike down the road in the other direction the next time, will be fix become more accurate?<p>Normally higher SNR fixes should have more weight than weak fixes. Do they?
This is a lot like the Wigle wardrive app: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wigle.wigleandroid" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wigle.wigl...</a>
I've been waiting for something like this. Most other location services I know about also crowd source data (after initially seeding it), but don't give the data back to the user.<p>Kudos for giving back what people gave you.
