[Bug 1426307] Re: location is inaccurate

 

Hi Costales,

Yes, it's working perfectly in Portugal/Spain but not in Germany. Even if I get some fix sometimes it's lost 5min later. The accuracy in Portugal drifts between 2m and 20m. In Germany there's no data at all visible in this app. 
I don't accept it to use a service like Nokia's HERE, because in the mountains e.g. there is no wifi. My wifi is usually turned off if I'm not at home, in order to save battery. And as I see here, I don't even need it.

I think it's neccessary to create the possibility to see some debug
output. Another way to improve this function might be the possibility to
enter the rough position in order to find satellites faster.

Greetings, Lucio
