[–] src@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) It works perfectly fine without any GApps, not sure where you're getting this info. I've used it for months with no issues. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fragger93@feddit.de 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Im using Fairphone 4 5G. Do you really use it without any gapps? Not even Micro/Nano G? I installed pure Lineage20. In Google Maps and most of the other Navigation apps GPS Locationing doesnt work. Organic Maps just works. At least for me. Most of the time something doesnt work, it is because of gapps, and it is on the play store, so i would think it is because of that. But i will try it again and reply if it is now better or not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] src@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Yes, I used it as my primary mapping tool on GrapheneOS, the GPS locating worked fine, and I didn't have any Google software installed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fragger93@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) You Were right. Used it for my way back home Form office and it worked this time. Strange. I swear, that when i tested it yesterday, it didnt got my Location! Today it took less than 10sec. Works without Gapps. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] src@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago* When you use Google's precise location tracking, your location is found almost instantly, even if you're indoors. If you're not using it, you need to be outdoors for it to triangulate your position. It takes about 3 or 4 seconds to calculate, but once it's found it works perfectly fine. Maybe that was your issue? permalink fedilink source parent
