## What it is
UnifiedNlp is an alternative network location provider for Android that replaces Google's network location service. It provides a plugin interface so third-party location backends (e.g., Wi-Fi or cell-tower based) can be integrated easily.

## Use cases
- get network-based location on Android without Google Play Services
- replace Google's network location provider with an open-source alternative
- plug in custom Wi-Fi or cell-tower location backends on Android
- de-google an Android ROM while keeping location services
- develop a third-party location provider plugin for Android

## When to choose
- you run Android without Google Apps and need network location
- you want a plugin-based, privacy-friendly location provider
- you are building a custom location backend for Android

## When to avoid
- you already use microG GmsCore, which includes UnifiedNlp
- you need GPS-only positioning (no network location)
- you need support for very old Android versions beyond the legacy build
