Geolocation problem

falastsaw

Hi everyone, I've been a GOS user for a few days.

My problem is as follows: When I want to use a geolocation system (Organic Maps, OpenStreetMap, and even the Google Maps interface), it doesn't work. I click on the geolocation button, and nothing happens.

I'm an 8a user.
Location is on.
VPN (Mullvad) is off.

I have given all authorizations to Organic Maps.

I haven't found any other posts with the same problem. Is anyone here able to help me?

Thank you very much.

Are you indoors? Maybe you're not getting a satellite lock. You can try enabling network location, which should make getting a location lock indoors possible.

https://grapheneos.org/features#network-location for more info.
https://grapheneos.org/usage#network-location on steps to enable it.

Sounds like the rerouting of location requests might be off.
Check location settings for and make sure that that the rerouting of requests intended for google service is on (unless you use google's implementation).

Eirikr70 I don't understand what settings you are talking about

In case you still haven't found it:

Settings > Apps > Sandboxed Google Play > Reroute location requests to the OS

falastsaw Try using network location per the steps in the post above and let us know if it works for you.

Yeah it seems you weren't getting great satellite reception where you were. Network location helps with that.
