Hello All!
I have been getting very frustrated with my Samsung Galaxy S2's GPS capabilities. When I turn the GPS on and load directions into the Navigation app, it takes the app 4-6 minutes to return the voice directions.
I'm running a test right now. I set my location at work today and have now opened the Maps app at home with the GPS enabled and am waiting for it to find my location. The clock is now at around 4.5 minutes without updating my location. And I've pressed the "my location" button several times.
Is this GPS latency a known issue with this phone, or phones in general, or am I the only one having this problem? Either way, if anyone has any suggestions for decreasing the GPS latency, I'd love to hear them.
Also, I've found that the GPS signal seems to get lost more frequently on my phone than with standalone GPS directions units in cars.
Thanks in advance,
steiney
