I just received my Librem 5 last week. I have some work to do before I can attempt to use the Librem 5 as my daily driver. But I am happy about the current state of the software development. It’s a big job and there is still a lot of work to do before the functionality approaches that of an Apple or…

[image] StevenR: different continent Where, more precisely? It may be as well to review a few of the existing topics about GNSS first (as a separate issue from issues about usability of specific mapping applications).

Initially, it put me on the other side of the world, either in Africa or China. I didn’t pay much attention to exactly where in the moment. But now, it seems locked on to my home location as I am at home now. But the default map in the PureOS store is still very buggy. It is difficult to navigate b…

Maybe a silly question to ask, but are you sure your location services are switched on? In my experience, the gps on the L5 is accurate to within a couple of meters of my actual location - except when I am indoors. The L5 navigation does not do well indoors. It works like a charm while walking or b…

For me: My Librem 5 cannot get a decent GPS fix. I’m in contact with helpful Purism support to try to check the antenna connection. I tried PureMaps and GNOME Maps, both give a rough location (probably not based on GPS, but on other location hints. GNOME Maps does not fit well on the screen and seems unable to use the curren…

Librem 5 GPS/Location Tracking Librem 5

Howdy, I’ve been trying to figure out how to get location tracking working on the librem 5 in order to get puremaps to be used for navigation. However, unless I’m connected to a wifi network, it says I’m in Lake Michigan near Chicago. Which unless I’m in the matrix, is nowhere near where I’m actually at. I read a topic posted earlier that talks about people getting within 30 feet to a mile of where they actually are, so it sounds like it somewhat works for people. Not sure why it doesn’t work …
