Mozilla introduce Location Service, proyecto experimental piloto de geolocalización

por Hector Russo28 octubre 2013

Hoy Mozilla anunció un nuevo proyecto piloto experimental llamado Location Service, el cual provee búsquedas de geolocalización basadas en torres celulares públicamente observables e información de puntos de acceso WiFi. Actualmente ofrecen cobertura de servicios básicos en algunas localidades que pueden ver en el mapa anterior.

Según Mozilla teléfonos móviles con una señal GPS débil y ordenadores portátiles sin hardware GPS pueden llegar a utilizar este servicio para identificar rápidamente su ubicación aproximada.

Mozilla invita a los que quieran participar en el proyecto, a instalar el MozStumbler para Android.

Por último frecen un API para que los desarrolladores puedan utilizar la data que han compilado hasta el momento.
