Hey! How can inital #GPS finding satellites on my #LineageOS phone be sped up? I have no #gApps or #microG installed.

It takes sooooo long until I can use GPS for navigation.

Can someone guide me in the right direction?

Edit: I don't want to use #Google services directly or indirectly.

was #UnifiedNLP removed in recent #microG versions? looks like there are 3 hardcoded backends instead now #Android

The new MicroG has "updated" how it does location.
Major change if you tried to use entirely offline location, as I did (Using onboard gps, wifi and cell data). It now all runs through Mozilla.

Additionally, setting up Local GSM to have accurate (hopefully) database, I discovered that the database it auto downloads from years out of date.

However there's a slightly updated version, linked below, as seen in the issue below. It too is kinda old but 🤷
