Hello, could someone tell me please, if hybrid Wifi/aGPS positioning
should work in FFOS 1.3? Accordingly to
https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Roadmap it was added to 1.2 (but
strangely without any issue reference). I've spent a week running
around town with Android device with mozStumbler turned on and
acquired a lot of data (https://location.services.mozilla.com/leaders
- user revelon ;-) , but still, getting position outside is painfully
painfully slow, and inside of building nearly impossible (on device
GP Revolution). Thank you for an answer/status, Marek

Hey Marek,
Glad you were productive stumbling.
As I understand things, none of your data are exposed to the Firefox OS
Geolocation call. The Firefox OS navigator.geolocation call works but
still relies on the service of a third party (some Google service if I
remember right). This means you won't see your data that way. However,
the call should work on your phone, so I am not sure why it does not.
Perhaps, that service does not have coverage of your area?
Mozilla Location Services, which gets the Stumbler data, is not used for
Firefox OS Geolocation. MozLocServ is still in data acquisition mode
(although you can manually call the service to ask for its estimate of
your position, but that has fixed and very poor error estimates). You
can ask questions about MozLocSev on another list:

where you might get more precise answers about how your uploaded data
are being processed and used.
cheers,
