Location issues with navigation apps

  • /e/ version: v2.5 t
  • Device model(s): FP5
  • Developer mode enabled: yes
  • Device rooted: no
  • Trackers blocker enabled: yes

Summary

For several users, at least one navigation app (Google Maps, Magic Earth...) is not able to catch their real position

The problem

Steps to reproduce

Open a navigation app like Google Maps

What is the current behavior?

It is not able to get the current position, and seems to keep a previous one

What is the expected correct behavior?

Being able to get the current location

Technical information

I wonder if the problem could be coming from Maps itself. As I don't face the issue with MagicEarth for example. Sometimes only one app is affected, sometimes it's general.
