aka backends, it does not provide any location lookup itself.
List of backends for geolocation:
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.apple]] backend that uses Apple's service to resolve wifi locations
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.openwlanmap]] backend that uses OpenWlanMap.org to resolve user location.
* [[org.gfd.gsmlocation]] Local opencellid based location provider backend
* [[org.fitchfamily.android.gsmlocation]] Local location provider for gsm cells with separate database file (lacells.db)
* [[org.fitchfamily.android.wifi_backend]] Local location provider for WiFi APs using on-phone generated database.
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.apple]] uses Apple's Wifi database.
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.openwlanmap]] uses OpenWlanMap.org
* [[org.gfd.gsmlocation]] uses OpenCellId (local)
* [[org.fitchfamily.android.gsmlocation]] uses GSM Celll data (local)
* [[org.fitchfamily.android.wifi_backend]] uses (on-device generated) WiFi data (local)
List of backends for (reverse) geocoding:
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.nominatim]]
After installing a backend, you can use UnifiedNlp by activating network-based
geolocation in Settings->Location. Since KitKat, you need to select any mode
but "device only", on older Android version this setting is called "Wi-Fi &
mobile network location" (ignore any misleading texts saying this is for
Google's location service, you don't have Google's service installed but
UnifiedNlp).
After installing you have to reboot your device and install a backend service,
which has to be activated and configured from the app's settings page. After
this you can use UnifiedNlp by activating network-based geolocation from
Settings -> Location. Since KitKat, you need to select any mode but "device
only", on older Android version this setting is called "Wi-Fi & mobile network
location" (ignore any misleading texts saying this is for Google's location
service, you don't have Google's service installed but UnifiedNlp).
