    On devices with a Qualcomm baseband (which provides GPS), when location - functionality is enabled and being used, - GPS almanacs - are downloaded from https://xtrapath1.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin, - https://xtrapath2.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin or - https://xtrapath3.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin which are currently (as of - September 2020) hosted via Amazon Web Services. GrapheneOS has modified all - references to these servers to use HTTPS rather than a mix of HTTP and HTTPS. - No query / data is sent to the server.

    HTTPS connections are made to fetch PSDS information to assist with + satellite based location. These are static files and are downloaded automatically + to improve location resolution speed and accuracy. No query or data is + sent to these servers. These contain orbits and statuses of satellites, Earth + environmental data and time adjustment information.

    + +

    On prior generation Pixels with a Qualcomm baseband (which provides GNSS), + almanacs are downloaded from https://xtrapath1.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin, + https://xtrapath2.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin and https://xtrapath3.izatcloud.net/xtra3grc.bin + which currently (as of April 2022) are hosted via Amazon Web Services. Unlike AOSP, + GrapheneOS has modified all references to these servers to use HTTPS rather than + a mix of HTTP and HTTPS. We plan to offer the option to download these files from the GrapheneOS + servers, but we'll retain the option to use the standard servers to blend in with other devices.

    On 6th generation Pixels with a Broadcom GNSS chip, by default almanacs are downloaded + from https://google.psds.grapheneos.org/lto2.dat, https://google.psds.grapheneos.org/rto.dat and + https://google.psds.grapheneos.org/rtistatus.dat which are the GrapheneOS proxy servers + for the standard servers. Alternatively, the standard servers can be used which are + https://agnss.goog/lto2.dat, https://agnss.goog/rto.dat and https://agnss.goog/rtistatus.dat + which currently (as of April 2022) are hosted via Google Cloud Platform.
