Public bug reported:
Currently, A-GPS is only available on commercial UT-devices through
Nokia HERE. This is a real problem for users of community ports (like
those provided by ubports.com). Also, the HERE service is closed source
and proprietary, that's kind of odd for the free operating system we all
want Ubuntu Touch to be.
I suggest that we try to implement the Mozilla Location Service, which
is a free and open source location service:
https://location.services.mozilla.com/
There is a bounty on Bountysource on this:
