The latest version of #TowerCollector includes built-in support for BeaconDB, replacing the now defunct MLS server by default!

If you'd like to support offline, private by default geolocation, how about collecting cell tower data for the #OpenCellID (CC-BY dumps) and #BeaconDB (planned CC0 dumps) projects?

@Cappyjax I've been using #TowerCollector so far to contribute to #OpenCellID (and previously #MLS). I wonder whether they'll add #BeaconDB support?

EDIT: it's already supported as custom configured MLS service.

Even if you're not a developer, give back to the #opensource community. I do it by getting people to install #linux and explaining why it's a viable #os. Also, I run #streetcomplete which provides various data elements to the #openstreetmap project, enhancing their mapping. It's full of quests that earn you points. Install #towercollector to contribute to the #opencellid and #mozilla projects. All are available on #fdroid. And always send error/crash reports for any #foss software you use.
