I notice GPS locks and accuracy seem to be a bit better; I use the LocalGSM and LocalWifi backends.I particularly like that microG doesn't require a lot of permissions. Plus since I don't entirely use a lot of Google services, I don't need to have them installed or running in the background either.I also like the better control over location. With the local backends, my location data doesn't have to be sent off to an online server somewhere. I grab a large database for cell towers from OpenCellID and Mozilla, and that has me covered for the GSM backend. And for Wifi, I just scan for access points as I travel around and build my own database. For first-time visits, I have to rely on the GSM backend first, but for return visits, the Wifi backend should work.And finally, it's also just kind of neat using this kind of set-upI've tried to go without GApps in the past, but ever since I started playing Pokemon GO and Ingress, I didn't like having to lose those games. Plus there was a few apps I wanted from Play Store too. But now, I can be without GApps, and also have PoGO and Ingress, and even more surprisingly, I pass SafetyNet.
