Objective
The Mozilla Location Service is an open service which lets devices determine their location based on network infrastructure like WiFi access points and cell towers.
The service is accessible at https://location.services.mozilla.com
Contributing
There are various ways to contribute, please refer to https://location.services.mozilla.com/ for details.
FAQ
Every project has some frequently asked questions.
Goals
- Provide a highly accurate geolocation service for any device and in any country, based on publicly sent signal information (like cell towers, Wi-Fi, IP addresses).
- Improve the privacy aspects of the geolocation service compared to the current market offerings.

- A list of open bugs: Location bugs
- Bugs specific to the Mozilla Stumbler application and the Ichnaea Service should be reported in their respective github issue trackers.
Meetings
The team holds a private weekly half hour meeting to discuss location client and service development:
- Time: Wednesday at 10:30AM PDT / 13:30PM EDT / 6:30PM UTC.
- Place: Vidyo room #geolocation (9429)
- Phone (US/Intl): 1 650 903 0800 x92 Conf: 9429#
- Phone (Toronto): 1 416 848 3114 x92 Conf: 9429#
If you cannot join via Vidyo, you can call in via one of the phone numbers. Please mute yourself with '* 1' upon joining to prevent needless noise and feedback. You can unmute yourself with '* 1' again to speak.
- Note: The meeting currently includes a fair amount of Mozilla internal talk, so we aren't currently inviting community contributors to it. We are still figuring out, if and how we should split the meeting into a public and private part.
Communication
- Join the #geo channel on Mozilla's IRC server (irc.mozilla.org).
- You can subscribe to the mailing list at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-geolocation
