I barely get GPS location when using Google Maps in the building g

Has anybody the same issue? Seems like I won't get my current location when using Google Maps in the building. Same with other apps who rely on location access on my phone.

Is there a fix to it? I don't want to go outside if I want to order a pizza (I use the get location feature when ordering food).

Xoxochippelxo Might be the reason why Google some years ago started tracking wifi SSIDs and use that as accurate location almost equal to GPS. Not sure if GrapheneOS would do the same, since it's a privacy risk to keep a database of this.

That is unfortunately a limit of the GPS technology : without direct line to the satellites, the GPS is blind. And the geolocation based on wifi and bluetooth depends on Google proprietary databases.
