Wrong/Inaccurate location for apps that use GPS #2490

Open kamikazebob opened 3 weeks ago

kamikazebob commented 3 weeks ago

All apps that use GPS, taxi apps, weather apps give a very generic location name. For example, my weather apps will say I'm in England as opposed to actual precise location I am a Huawei user and any apps installed from App Gallery that use GPS behave appropriately

Expected behavior Apps give precise location

Same issue, may be due to mozila killing location services.

Tried community solution (https://beacondb.net/) but no luck

Let's hope a new release of microg helps huawei users!

Just to understand: your issue is not that the location displayed on Maps is inaccurate, but only the name that is assigned to the location (reverse geocoding)? In that case, as you're using a Huawei device with EMUI or HarmonyOS, this is an issue with the operating system. MicroG does not provide those reverse geocoding on Huawei devices. Contact Huawei about this issue.
