To all #FOSS supporting people traveling these days: Please consider collecting wireless geolocation information for the #publicdomain #geolocation database #beaconDB.

Check the map via the link above to see how it is filling up with more and more points. Amazing and very interesting to see.

Also note the differences per continent.

The latest version of #TowerCollector includes built-in support for BeaconDB, replacing the now defunct MLS server by default!

If you'd like to support offline, private by default geolocation, how about collecting cell tower data for the #OpenCellID (CC-BY dumps) and #BeaconDB (planned CC0 dumps) projects?
