List of backends for geolocation:
* [AppleWifiNlpBackend](https://github.com/microg/AppleWifiNlpBackend) - Uses Apple's service to resolve Wi-Fi locations. It has excellent coverage but the database is proprietary.
* [OpenWlanMapNlpBackend](https://github.com/microg/OpenWlanMapNlpBackend) - Uses OpenWlanMap.org to resolve user location but the NLP backend did not reach release-quality, yet. Users interested in a freely licensed and downloadable database for offline use should stick with openBmap for now.

* [OpenBmapNlpBackend](https://github.com/wish7code/org.openbmap.unifiedNlpProvider) - Uses [openBmap](https://radiocells.org/) to resolve user location.
