To address common GPS issues with your smartphone, consider these tips:
- Allow some time for the GPS signal to be found before starting tracking.
- Restart your device and ensure a clear view of the sky, away from high buildings or dense forests.
- Be aware that GPS reception can be affected by weather, season, satellite positioning, and areas with poor coverage.
- Activate the "Location" setting on your phone.
- Set your phone to automatically update "Date & Time" and "Time Zone" to prevent signal delays due to incorrect settings.
- Ensure airplane mode is turned off.
If these suggestions don't resolve your issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Remember, Google Maps uses additional data from WLAN and mobile networks to enhance location accuracy, which may not be available in Geo Tracker.
