f-droid.org has something, and more pointers in forums. I have not

Hi Paul,

Is Mozilla Location Service useful to you?

 MicroG Unified NLP doesn't work in this case as I have a number of apps

 unusable.

Not quite, but close.  MicroG would be perfect if it didn't totally disable
other Google Play services.
