My OPT location is set to high accuracy and still it shows wrong location on google maps and other apps.
Wherever m going the gps rotates at the same location and not working properly. It was properly working few days ago.
How can i fix it. I dont want to hard reset and what are the other options?
If you are rooted then try installing gps reset apps which delete your agps data.

Hello All,
I was just wondering if anyone has any input or has updated the google maps app for the Xperia. I hear the current version is 2.3.2 while the preload on the xperia is 2.0.someting.
What are the steps to update?
I just downloaded it straight from Google, and installed over the existing version, no problems.
The upgrade is very simple.
I just uninstalled the old google maps then installed the new version. The new version has some nice updates for favorites and street cams. I like it
I didn't uninstall the old version before installing a new one. In that way you can keep your old favorite locations.
Another question about google maps:
I use google maps with GPS. When I finish using it I exit google maps.
The next time I use google maps, it first positions me by gsm towers, not very accurately, but as best as it is possible by network - correct position.
The problem: When I switch to "use gps", it starts looking for satellites and at that time it moves my location to the last place I had gps lock which might be hundreds of kilometres away from my real location. Only when it finally finds satellites, it corrects my assumed location to the real location.
With previous versions it kept my "gsm position" until it could find the satellites.
Anyone else have experienced this with google maps? It's quite annoying...
While writing this post, I started thinking if me not uninstalling the old version before installing the new one, could be the problem...

I did a hard reset cause I messed up my X1 with too much tweaking. Now it seems to be working ok.
EDIT: Sometimes still, when it takes some time to get a fix, it shows me the wrong position while searching for sattelites. Then when it gets a fix, it jumps to the right location.
Whenever I start Navigation, It Says 'Checking Navigation Availability' and it doesnt proceed. If the screen goes off and i unlock it again it is out of the navigation app.
It says Checking Navigation Availability because it searches your phone for a GPS App, like Navigon, iGO etc... Install a GPS Navigation Software and it will work.. I think it works like a "Car Home" software..
I read a couple of posts and cleared cache and restarted and it finally said navigation not available in my country. Use co- pilot now and its all good.

Where are you from?
Googles navigation dont work in many countries... checking for navination means that its waiting for gps lock. I suggest enabling gps xtra from settings to get a lot faster lock
Hi Guys/Girls,
My first post having got hold of my first Android tablet 7" MID A13 really impressed for the price I've not stopped messing with it, but I seem to have a problem. For some reason Google Maps and Google Earth seem to crash unless I use Location Spoofer to fake my location, my device does not have GPS but surly this shouldn't matter, any ideas?
Hi, if you don't have GPS, you won't be able to pinpoint your location.. unless you set it to a specific location.

Yer I understand that but Surely the program shouldn't crash on load is there anyway to permanently fake a gps position in a config file somewhere?
What options do you have checked in the location settings?

I'm having the same problem. GPS Status & Toolbox, GPS Status Test & Fix and GPS Test all get a fix, accurate to 10 metres. When I open Google Maps, it just constantly says waiting for location. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps, and now the GPS icon doesn't even come up in the status bar (it did show up before the uninstall/reinstall but it still wouldn't get a fix). Does anyone have any ideas?

i've uninstalled the updates, now gps starts when i open google maps ...
but i only get the location given by the network or wifi.
the gps icon in the notification bar blinks ... finds the location fast enough (the location is accurate if checked in other applications) ... but this location is not shown in google maps:
if in location settings/mode i check 'gps only' ... the gps locks the correct position, but it is not shown on the map ...
if i chose 'high accuracy' .... maps will show the position of given by the network (which is not accurate)
any ideas? thank you!
btw google earth too fails to start the gps and to find an accurate position - it will get the position given by the network ... so it's a google thing - i guess!
another funny thing:
in maps i get the location using the network (which is not accurate), but if i switch to navigation - i get the location by gps (more accurate)!
so it uses the gps just for navigation .... what is this?
I figured out my problem: Google Play Services and Privacy Guard. Google Play Services needs location access as well as Maps.
Click thanks if I helped you

Hello. Well I noticed my location in google maps is greyed out but still is able to track where I am
Whys is this happening since before it was working perfectly. My GPS works fine with all other apps but this has been a recent issue with google maps only. I wouldnt really care but every time I tried to set a route with the starting point as my location I get the unable to reach servers try again later and have to set the starting or end point manually for it to work.
I have marshmallow 6.0,1 installed and the latest version of google maps dated for the time I am posting this
any help with this issue?
Mine works just as expected. Have you tried wiping data on the app, clear cache, force stop and then restart phone. Also check all location settings not just in settings menu but in Google settings as well. And make sure permissions for the app are granted for location.
I just updated to the latest android 6 version and the problem is solved
