20.04 Focal: uNav freezes with GPS enabled

saveurlinux

@costales I'm not sure it is relative to Unav, I experiment the same problem with Pure Maps.

@saveurlinux
I also have the feeling that it is not related to uNav, because almost the same thing happens with Pure Maps.
If I don't specify the location at the beginning and simply enter a destination and then specify the location, it works and I can start the navigation.
Unfortunately, the navigation suddenly freezes after a certain time.

Happens to Morph as well: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/morph-browser/-/issues/554 ... So this sounds like some system issue then.

@saveurlinux I also think so... I think it is realated to the GPS itself

Had the same only can it trigger on another way.

enable gps
start Unav
search destination and confirm
then hit the button to begin the route so gps will start searching
cancel by searching new destination and confirm
hit the start button and the freezes

Indeed looks likesomethingbwith gps

The last days I've used the navigation a lot for a motorcycle tour and it was very annoying when the navigation freezes.
I've played around with noble on my spare phone and it seems, that this bug is present there as well
So hopefully we'll get this fixed in near future, to have a reliable working navigation again (as we had in 16.04).
Is there anything we can provide to the devs @costales @rinigus or help in any other way?

This is a place to start, maybe: https://github.com/costales/unav/issues/56#issuecomment-1741820194

@CiberSheep I think that's also the wrong place, because it must be a problem in the location-daemon/gps-daemon.
I've tested it again with todays build of noble and it's the same behavior like under focal: unav, puremaps and even morph are freezing once you have searched your position and want to do something with it (e.g. calculate a route from the actual position). Maybe @peat_psuwit does have an idea or can even take a look at it?

@kristatos

I can't run osm scout driver on noble. So are map provided to apps?
Via GPS Toolkit, i can see GPS is working well.
