About Mozilla Stumbler
Mozilla is a nonprofit project and global community building a better internet. Mozilla Stumbler is an open-source wireless network scanner that collects GPS data for the Mozilla Location Service, our crowd-sourced location database. As you move around, the app "stumbles" upon new Wi-Fi networks and cell towers. The Mozilla Location Service combines these wireless network measurements to provide geolocation services for Firefox and other open source projects. For more information, visit our project page:
• https://location.services.mozilla.com
How to use Mozilla Stumbler
• The app stops/pauses automatically when you are not moving or your battery is low. (This feature works better on newer devices as they have better sensors).
• Go to un-stumbled areas (not covered in blue) to fill in the coverage map: https://location.services.mozilla.com/map
• Improve the accuracy of the service by stumbling in the blue areas.
• Try walking, biking, or driving new routes with Mozilla Stumbler every day!
• Start with major streets and intersections, then explore smaller streets.
• Your contributions will take a day to show up on the coverage map.
Feedback
• Please report bugs on GitHub: https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues
• or the #geo IRC channel on https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC
To conserve cellular data usage, the Stumbler's map view only shows high resolution map tiles on Wi-Fi. In the Settings, you can change this to always show the high resolution maps,

Works perfectly, and doesn't use a lot of battery. When is the 1.8.6 going to appear on Google Play?

Works well on CyanogenMod and Android 6.x. Some bad reviews from Android 2.x users. Root your phone and upgrade! Thank you for providing privacy enhanced location services.

Very funny name, but does an amazing job. Too bad a tower location app doesn't know how to use the data.

This app seems to work well for its designed purpose. However, no matter what I do to shut it down, it continues using CPU time when I would have thought it was stopped. It also starts running in the background on startup without my permission. I have to delete it until these problems are addressed.

On Android 4.0, the app seems to not able to collect any data because of the so-said "Battery Saving" mode in which the GPS got locked and then disabled again and then relocate. This way the app cannot collect data unless I force on the GPS lock by using another map/GPS app and put Stumbler in background. Please fix!

Collects local WiFi and cell site info to improve position data for the local area. Usually works fine, but dies if running in the background, losing all the unsent data, which is pointless. Should keep data and restart if Android cleans up and kills the app.
