I found a fix for location not working on CMF Phone 1 after /e/OS

I finally found a fix for the location issue on CMF Phone 1 with /e/OS I was facing.

Adding this here so I can re-find the steps if required-

Do this:

  1. Settings → System → microG → Location

  2. Tap the 3 dots (top right)

  3. Choose “Online location service” / “Configure service URL”

  4. Select Custom (instead of BeaconDB)

  5. Paste this exact URL: API – Positon

  6. Save → restart phone → location works immediately.

This is a temporary fix, it would seem …

“Positon is meant as a temporary offering. It was created exclusively out of necessity and once it is no longer needed as further alternatives to Mozilla Location Service are developed, we will shut down after a grace period. We currently do not expect to continue our operations beyond the year 2026.”
