Is it a good idea to integrate a location service (such as https://location.services.mozilla.com/api) in Sinoptik?

That way, clients (Android, iOS, EPS32) can submit a list of wifi access points and get a location in return. Most location services (including Mozilla Location Service) require an API key and limit the number of request or bill the developer per request. Integrating this into Sinoptik allows easier caching and more control over the number of requests to the location service.

Note that with the Mozilla Location Service it is also possible to run your own instance. In that case, no billing is required.

Please indicate your opinion on this.
