PSA: If you used #NeoStumbler back when the #MozillaLocationService was still active, consider not only switching your endpoint to @beacondb, but also submitting your old MLS data, using the "Reupload data" feature in the settings, as the raw NeoStumbler submissions include more information than the MLS data dumps.
I'm not sure if Tower Collector has a similar option, but if it does, consider submitting your data.

The @beacondb is an open location data collection, comparable to the now shut off #MozillaLocationService - and contributing is really easy by just running #NeoStumbler: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/xyz.malkki.neostumbler.fdroid/

It's really addicting to follow one's own contributions and see how the map is slowly filling up - hexagon by hexagon.
