      Is GPS working for you?
      I've tried several times to get a fix using uNav and also SensorsStatus, but each time, no joy.
      What am I doing wrong?

        @dtarrant For GPS, it's highly advised to be out in the open without roof, open an app that uses location and leave it for a few minutes. This is only needed for the initial fix and will work fine afterwards. UT doesn't currently have AGPS which makes it instant in other systems.

          In addition to Kugiigi's comments, I add prevent Unav app suspension with Ubuntu Tweak Tool or turn off screenlock. It may take 20 minutes for the first fix and it must be done outside.

              @dtarrant I tested gps with uNav and SensorsStatus and as a control, I made the same tests with my BQ M10 tablet.
              The Lenovo tab got no fix for uNav nor SensorsStatus.
              The BQ M10 got fixes for uNav and SensorsStatus.
              So it seems gps isn't working on the Lenovo.
              Strange as in other respects the Lenovo is working fine.

                  You should ask @Luksus for help as he is the maintener if this port, and GPS is said working on this device in ubports device list.
