Ubuntu Phones going to introduce Nokia HERE as GPS Service Provider
Ubuntu Phone team officially announces that they are going to use Nokia HERE Maps as the key provider of location positioning services. As you know that HERE Maps by Nokia provides comprehensive mapping and location intelligence with accurate results. An agreement made between Nokia and Ubuntu, so that Nokia HERE will be used to provide GPS support on Ubuntu based Phones.
According to official announcement, Nokia HERE on Ubuntu Phones provides accurate positioning data for their location-based apps in under two minutes and signifiantly shorter time to first fix then the average for raw GPS technologies. The major feature which you might notice while using Nokia HERE on Ubuntu Phones includes faster positioning, privacy and security and better mapping capabilities.
As you know that HERE provides a hybrid solution with integrated A-GPS and WiFi positioning system. However, Ubuntu already uses its own GPS-based location service but it is not sufficient to support the location services which runs on the OS with a rapid and efficient location positioning capability. This fully integrated solution will be available to number of application developers who are currently using Ubuntu OS on their own hardware.
The new system has been designed in such a manner that it collects data anonymously on WiFi signal strength and local radio cells and pass this data back to a remote crowd-sourced location service. This is purely to improve the overall quality of positioning service and is in line with Ubuntu's policy on its use of personal data and an opt-out option will be available to all users.
