<![CDATA[GPS not working?]]>I can not find my location in two different apps: uNav and Pure Maps. uNav says "busy waiting for gps" and Pure maps also can not find my location. So I suspect the GPS function on my Fairphone 5 is not working correctly. Is there a way to test this function directly?

For the first fix, going outside and keeping the screen awake should help a lot.

This. And I'll add, the more tall building around, the more time GPS fix will extend.

But also: we don't have A-GPS because it's from Google. So getting a fix will take longer than you are used to. Never fear though: the more regularly you use your GPS, the faster the fix.
