mozilla location services and a native stumbler app
The 2.0.2.51 release-notes talks about mozilla location services being used for positioning assistance, but the Location settings still only show the option for HERE services, and so is the 'agreement'. Can a sailor explain what the situation actually is?
Also, and this is an app request, will it be possible to have a native Stumbler for Sailfish ? Or, if not a full app, is there any way we can start and stop the service from terminal, or is that only for android?
A Mozilla stumbler app was asked for here.

You may be able to install it by doing (requires developer mode):
You should also install data files for it. For India, you can do:
For Finland, do:
And for Australia, do:
We may enable it by default on other devices if enough people request it.
