Position not working on GPS
-
@embeddedmz Sensor Status is an app avilable in the OpenStore. using it will tell younstraight away if GPS is working. Using it on my OP5 comes back as:
source statue- no error
name-ubuntu
method-satalite -
@embeddedmz Near an open window is not sufficient. The phone needs to be outside in the open air.

@embeddedmz said in Position not working on GPS:
why do I have to wait 20 minutes ?? Why it's different from an Android Phone ?
Android has A-GPS and we don't have that.

@lakotaubp I got this :

Good news everybody. In sensor status, it displayed my position and then in uNav, I can locate my position in the map.
Maybe sensor status unlocked something, I don't know
Thank you all

@embeddedmz Good news. Now mark as solved https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6311/how-to-ask-a-question-and-then-mark-it-as-solved please

@lakotaubp However, GPS is not really usable in uNav or Puremaps, the location is not updated in real time, is this normal ? I ll restart the phone and check again.

The sky is not very cloudy but sensor status fails too often to get the new location. I can locate myself from time to time but this is not practical for navigation.
I don't know if this is normal.

@embeddedmz Clouds have nothing to do with signal strength. GPS gets radio signals from satellites orbiting the earth which are unaffected by weather. Where are you testing GPS? High buildings, deep valleys, and dense forest can interfere with reception, which is why you were told three times to try it in an open space.
Having said that, it is possible your phone simply does not work well with GPS under any circumstances. Personally I find Puremaps and GPS work well enough for my purposes on a Nexus 5.

Hi.
I resolve the problem in Android setting off the option 'Precisione della geolocalizzazione in google' ('google geolocation accuracy', my phone in in italian).Is there any way to set the same option in UT?
