Most MicroG users get their location data from Mozilla Location Services: https://location.services.mozilla.com/ https://github.com/microg/IchnaeaNlpBackend If you want to improve the data quality in your area, you can use the Mozilla Stumbler: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.mozilla.mozs... Firefox for Android also lets you opt in to help improve Mozilla Location Services whenever Firefox makes a location request. This is equivalent to using the Stumbler app (and you should check its battery/RAM usage to make sure this setting is acceptable for you): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/improve-mozilla-locatio...

It doesn't have to use Google services, it's FLOSS and configurable. For example, you can replace the location backend with one that uses Mozilla's location service: https://github.com/microg/IchnaeaNlpBackend Furthermore, I think there's a difference between closed-source software running on your device reporting who-knows-what and open-source software that makes known, specific requests to cloud services.
