Description of Mozilla Stumbler

Mozilla is a nonprofit project and global community building a better internet.
Mozilla Stumbler
is an open-source wireless network scanner that collects GPS data for the
Mozilla Location Service
, our crowd-sourced location database. As you move around, the app "stumbles" upon new Wi-Fi networks and cell towers. The Mozilla Location Service combines these wireless network measurements to provide geolocation services for Firefox and other open source projects. For more information, visit our project page:
• https://location.services.mozilla.com
How to use Mozilla Stumbler
• The app stops/pauses
automatically
when you are not moving or your battery is low. (This feature works better on newer devices as they have better sensors).
• Go to un-stumbled areas (not covered in blue) to fill in the coverage map: https://location.services.mozilla.com/map
• Improve the accuracy of the service by stumbling in the blue areas.
• Try walking, biking, or driving new routes with Mozilla Stumbler every day!
• Start with major streets and intersections, then explore smaller streets.
• Your contributions will take a day to show up on the coverage map.
Feedback
• Please report bugs on GitHub: https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues
• or the #geo IRC channel on https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC
To conserve cellular data usage, the Stumbler's map view only shows high resolution map tiles on Wi-Fi. In the
Settings
, you can change this to always show the high resolution maps,

  Map never loads and fails to upload data

  While the app is easy to use, it is somewhat disappointing that high-resolution maps don't load on it at all, fixing that'd make me give 5 stars. (When zooming in close the map just goes blank apart from current session reports). Also, android tends to clear the app while running behind lock screen or in the background, which causes it to lose session data. This is unfortunate. A QOL feature would be to have a view where you can see all location reports recorded on your device.

  I love the concept but it doesn't do its job, the map doesn't load and it doesn't detect wifi signals

  This app is broken. Crashes at launch on all devices. Go ahead try to prove me wrong... Tablet, phablet, or phone this is not an Android application.

  Developer needs to update this app. All it does is crash after a few minutes, sometimes less.
