Learned an example of a badly coded #Android app today (#Poppy)

Apps expect that there is always a location. Why shouldnt there be one, all devices have #NetworkLocation dont they?

Well no, on #GrapheneOS and most other free Androids, only #AGPS is used. Network location can be manually enabled somewhere in some settings

A good app would use a fallback location now, centering the app in Europe or whatever. A bad app leaves the user unknowing if the map rendering is broken, as the map is white

@dos After getting incorrect location throughout the day (due to bad weather?), I finally tried your #aGPS script on #postmarketOS 25.06 (after installing #coreutils), and it appeared to work!

Planning to do more extensive testing in the coming few weeks. Thanks : )

Currently using #PureMaps for navigation mainly and #GnomeMaps occasionally.

Mein #agps von meiner Active 2 (Zepp OS) ist abgelaufen und https://codeberg.org/vanous/huafetcher wirft mir eine 400 Bad request an den Kopf.
Letzte Woche gings noch. Wo bekomme ich für #gadgetbridge ein epo.zip her?

BeaconDB: alternatywna usługa AGPS dla Google/Apple Location Services

Przez lata jedyną alternatywą dla Google/Apple Location Services była Mozilla Location Services, jednak została ona zamknięta w 2024 roku. Zaraz po zamknięciu MLS na horyzoncie pojawił się BeaconDB, który szybko zyskał sympatię byłych użytkowników MLSu. Najlepsza część? Tym projektem zarządza tylko jeden Australijczyk – Joel Koen.

@NK30 I do track that.

AFAIK #COMPASS should work.

Not shure if #GLONASS and #COMPASS are having "Selected Availability" aka. purposeful signal degradation enabled or can do it.

#Galileo is just an #AGPS system due to being purposefully #downgraded during design to be less secure and reliable than #NAVSTAR - #GPS, which can explain worse reception!

@hackernews #GZSS - like #Galileo - is just an #AGPS network since they both are technologically inferior than #GPS...
