If your GPS location isn’t working as expected, it could be due to the following reasons:

a. Weak Signal or Poor Reception

• Ensure you’re in an open area with a clear view of the sky. GPS signals can be blocked by buildings, tunnels, or dense areas.

• Move to a location with better reception to allow your device to recalibrate.

b. Device Settings

• Check that location services are enabled:

• For iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and ensure it’s turned on for the app.

• For Android: Go to Settings > Location and ensure it’s enabled for the app.

• Ensure the app has permission to access your location.

c. Device Battery-Saving Modes

• Battery-saver modes can restrict GPS functionality. Try disabling battery-saver mode to improve accuracy:

• For iOS: Go to Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode and toggle it off.

• For Android: Go to Settings > Battery > Power Saving Mode and turn it off.
