@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.

@UndeadLeech@fosstodon.org hmm, that's quite puzzling then. `--location-status` returns `capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb`, which sounds to me like NMEA is enabled. `--location-get` returns nothing 🙃
