How can I improve my device’s location accuracy?

Your location information is dependent on several sources: GPS, Wi-Fi Networks, cellular data and device hardware. If you’re experiencing location issues on your device, please give the following steps a try:

1. Make sure your device has a clear view of the sky: GPS may not work indoors, surrounded by buildings, underground places etc.
2. Ensure that your location settings are enabled. Turn on Wi-Fi: Your device doesn’t need to be connected to any Wi-Fi networks, but keeping WiFi on allows location service to work better.
3. It is important that the location, date and time are set correctly on the device to ensure the accuracy of the GPS information transmitted.
4. Make sure that mobile data are enabled. Your smartphone may have access to the mobile network to initially acquire a GPS fix.
5. Make sure that the device battery has enough power. Otherwise, the GPS receiver may be deactivated in some mobile devices.
6. If you cannot acquire a GPS location within 10 minutes, the GPS receiver of your device may not work properly. Reboot your device and try again.
