Neostumbler has has a huge update! Better maps, higher scan interval, customizability!
It is an app to contribute to open geolocation through wifi, cell towers or bluetooth beacons. This is faster, energy efficient, resilient and can be fully anonymous.
The database is beacondb.net and can already be used!
Neostumbler can be installed via
- Accrescent
- Obtainium with the repo URL
- F-Droid
- IzzyOnDroid (same as Github releases, quicker updates)
Neostumbler now also shows the coverage map, which still has reduced accuracy.

The main target you can contribute to is beacondb.net.
MicroG, the FOSS replacement for Google Services on Android, can use beacondb to provide network location data.
Various geolocation and map services for Linux (can) also use beacondb.
Previously, Mozilla Location Services would be used, but those have been shut down due to a bogus patent claim.
Huh, thank you so much for the answer, I appreciate it!
