Alan your logic seems to be flawed, I get gps on google maps in the

about things that do *not* subscribe to updates, things that just want to
know where you are.
For example
https://www.where-am-i.net/
and a ton of sites that just want to know where you are for things like this
https://www.aldi.co.uk/store-finder
they are not doing navigation, they are not presenting you on a map as a
moving dot. They just want a single latlng and then they are done, but
location services hands out junk, and doesn't wake up the GPS so you can
refresh forever and nothing will update, and there is no indication that
your GPS is still fast asleep. You have to go to google maps, wait for it to
get a dot at your location, then go back to your location aware thing and
refresh to let it know where you actually are.
Just file a bug against both location-service and oxide. The issue is
easily fixable by oxide actually considering
the time parameter correctly and filtering incoming updates correctly.
