MLS Manager
This app is a manager for Mozilla Location Service offline packages for Sailfish OS.
!!! Warning !!!
When using this app deinstall all other mls offline packages from other users first! This software overrides this data otherwise.
Mozilla Location Service
This app uses the offline data from Mozilla Location Service. The data is licensed under Public Domain.
Intention of project
I had alread released some offline packages on OpenRepos.net but I realized keeping all of them up to date will be a very hard job. An other problem is the big package sizes, taking away a lot of ressources from OpenRepos.
So I decided to host my own repository with packages and create a manager app. And here we are...
All of this is only intended as a temporary solution until Jolla presents an alternative.
Development Status
The main functionality is given (I hope) but code is a bit hacky at the moment. It needs to be improved in the future.
Automatic Updates
Updates with actual data will be released weekly (if possible).
I have created an automatic package creation pipline to make the job a bit easier for me.
Available Countries
At the moment 185 different countries are available.
Available Regions
- Africa
- Asia
- Australia and Oceania
- Europe
- North America
- South America
Get no fix at your current location?
These packages do not necessarily guarantee that you will get a GPS lock in your current area. This largely depends on whether there is any cell information available for this area.
To remedy this, you can contribute to the Mozilla Location Service or OpenCellid with software such as the Android App Tower Collector by logging the cell tower information in your area.
How to use
Recommended settings:
Settings > System > Location > Custom settings: ON
Settings > System > Location > Select custom settings:
- GPS positioning: ON
- Offline position lock: ON
- Online position lock: OFF
Storage Location
Packages with version >2021.02.10-1 the installation path is in "/home/.system/usr/share/geoclue-provider-mlsdb/". So no worry about size on ROOT partition. Thanks abranson for his suggestion.
