José,

If anything, I'd rather suggest they use the geteduroam app... it doesn't do
geolocation at all and rather expects the users to type part of their
institution name to trim down the list of institutions :-)

If they *must* use the 'eduroam CAT' app, they should do a manual search
rather than use geolocation.

Responding to myself… it’s probably implemented… it seems the request was
for IP geolocation in the eduroam CAT Android app.

to find organizations in the proximity…
