GPS Fix doesn't work after last Update
Not a Problem
Hello,
after the last update the Gps fix doesn't work anymore. You can see the green symbol, but there are no satellites. After some minutes there is a short fix, but disapeare at once. So no routing or exact positioning is possible.
I have a Samsung Tab S3 with the last Android version.
The same problem 
Hi Matthias,
Locus Map receives GPS data from your device, i.e. it doesn't influence if the GPS is on or off - it is managed by your phone system.
- please check if Locus Map is excluded from your device battery optimization (more info at https://dontkillmyapp.com/samsung)
- check if Locus Map has ALL necessary location permissions
- if the first two points are checked and with no effect, go to Locus settings > GPS&sensors > Google Services assisted location > turn it ON
best regards

thanks for your answer.
I did the first two points, but i can't turn on google assist. I have no simcard installed.
But i turned off Gps Auto off. There was 60 second delay to refresh gps. And this 60 second i can see in the app. So i turned it off and i have always my position. But why it changed with the update? Or did i never saw it? Ok, may be it is a fault or a feature. I will wait for the next update.
Thanks

Hi Matthias,
"GPS auto-off" feature is used when extreme battery saving is required, e.g. during a multi-day hiking in wilderness without possibility to recharge the phone. The track record is a bit vague then, depending on the settings. But for a normal use in a civilized area it is recommended to have this feature OFF.
