@UndeadLeech@fosstodon.org Oh interesting! It does look like I have `modem-gnss.service` enabled & running. It always tells me I'm in the middle of France (I live in Aachen), after like 15min it sometimes figures out where I am but by that time I already got where I need to be by other means.
Also, I only had the "compass" feature work once in Pure Maps. Otherwise it doesn't show me which direction I'm heading...

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm testing with my own map app and my NMEA location positioning has been very accurate, even inside my apartment. I would recommend just checking with `mmcli -m any --location-get` and trying to parse the NMEA GPS data by hand. If that gets you accurate data, it should just be a matter of finding an app that works for you. Also make sure NMEA is actually enabled with `--location-status`. I could imagine that just 3gpp could be quite inaccurate, which is the default.
