MLS - Overview
►https://location.services.mozilla.com
The Mozilla Location Service (MLS) is an open service which lets devices determine their location based on network infrastructure like WiFi access points and cell towers. This network based location service complements satellite based navigation systems like A-GPS... This open service relies on a community of contributors, ranging from individuals collecting data, developers using and innovating on top of the service to organizations sharing information about their infrastructure.

Le service utilise la base #OpenCellID repérée par @severo dernièrement, cf ▻http://seenthis.net/messages/343111 :
The service incorporates aggregated cell data from our partner the OpenCellID project. The OpenCellID data is provided under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license and can be acquired from the OpenCellID downloads section.
On peut voir la densité de données selon les pays sur la carte suivante :

Ça donne une idée de l’utilité du service selon la région.
Savez-vous s’il existe une carte similaire pour le service de Google (Google Maps Geolocation API) ? J’ai pas trouvé.
