Correct GPS offset on Here in China

Hello, I first thought that my Jolla GPS was working badly, since whenever I use the maps application, I get a position that is around 100m away from my actual position in China. It turns out that there is a known problem in China: http://www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2013/07/16/a-more-complete-ios-solution-to-the-china-gps-offset-problem

Can this solution be implemented in Jolla so that we get correct positioning? It is fun to drive on the road and have the map showing you consistently on the left outside of the road. I understand that the GPS coordinates are correct, but the mapping to the HERE map is the problem.
