SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) is the most common protocol used to retrieve almanac data.

There are no free software SUPL servers that we know off. Android uses Google's servers (@supl.google.com@) by default. Most carriers also default to @supl.google.com@ on their APN. GrapheneOS runs a proxy at @supl.grapheneos.org@.
