@astroboy@fosstodon.org Since we have a local algorithm already, we’ve already a lot of the way towards implementing entirely offline network location support. We just need to provide a database based on scraping Apple’s data for local queries of networks and networks near those. We already have the code to calculate the position from it locally. Google’s service does the calculation on their service which prevents mass scraping the data in a similar way and also prevents short term offline use via a cache.
