After updating to the latest gmscore, Location accuracy is horrendous

[DavidRLTG]

Describe the bug Basically, I updated the app to the latest ver and saw that it no longer supports your own location services, which I disapprove of but oh well And then I tried using my maps app, and they COULD NOT find me, they barely found my country or my city. Terrible. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use latest gmscore
2. Open your maps app
3. Suffer

Expected behavior Location accuracy being equal to before the update or better

Screenshots Cant really show that

System Android Version: 13 Custom ROM: ArrowOS

Additional context I used to use basically every possible location service on fdroid at once to get the best accuracy

Have you enabled the new location options in microG settings?

[DavidRLTG]

No, it just came there by default. Is there some way to disable it?

+1, currently seen in Canary Islands-Spain, but it always locates me in Galicia-Spain which is not even close. I have also tried disabling the wifi location and the mobile network location and it gives the same result (for some reason the GPS location works worse).

In fact I would like to mention that this used to happen in the same way, but I could use Local NLP Backend (https://f-droid.org/es/packages/helium314.localbackend/) and Apple Unified NLP (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.microg.nlp.backend.apple/) to make it work correctly.

@DavidRLTG: Everything is disabled by default unless you have enabled it before.

[DavidRLTG]

I swear, I never enabled the new options menu. I dunno how to. it just came when I updated. And it didnt support my custom locations anymore. @ale5000-git

@DavidRLTG What @ale5000-git is trying to tell you is that by default no backend is enabled, so you don’t get any location (location itself is enabled, but will only work with locally collected data — that is none when you’ve just installed the app). If you want to get something out of it, you need to enable backends.

[DavidRLTG]

I enabled everything in Location, what else do I do? there is no option for backends or anything

Issue closed, After restarting my phone it finally worked okay, though I do wish we had a feature to use custom location modules again or to download cell tower locations for countries.
