[Bug 1426307] Re: location is inaccurate

 

Hi Lucio,

> Yes, it's working perfectly in Portugal/Spain but not in Germany.

A big location change could take a lot of time, the same as the first app
startup. Could you leave it near to a window or in the car without movement?

Yes, 2,5m is the best possible for a mobile GPS.

> In Germany there's no data at all visible in this app.

It's weird :( The 26% of users are from Germany and no body reported
this.

Do you have the Nokia HERE disabled? You have to enable it :( It's the
unique way the GPS will work.
Could be this the origin of the problem?

Yes, I need to think in something about current GPS data :)
