Google has been restricting access to everything on Android, and
funneling everything, more and more, through Google Play Services
with each update they make to Android. And access to GPS data is
but one of the data sets that Google has been restricting in this
way on Android. This is the reason for the existance of the microG
project (https://microg.org/), an attempt to provide an alternative
access point for those same API's but without including the google
spy machine in the process.
@Xavier:
Do you have experience with microG ? Is it in an useable state ?
Will it solve in its actual state the new problem of OSMand with GPS ?
No, I do not have experience using microG. I only know of its
existance and stated purpose of replacing the google play services
api's with equivalents that are more privacy respecting than google
will ever be.
As to whether it might solve the issue, since it is open source and
freelly available, there is no cost other than the time to do so to
just try it and see if it solves the issue.
