Anyone else still having problems with location/turn by turn navigation? This is frustrating. It was fixed on a few builds before the official release and since then appears to be broken again. It is so sad to be the only one in a group with smartphones that can't use their gps/enabled apps. This was one of the strong points of Windows 8.X in the past (Here Maps).
Try it please and let me know. If you use Waze or Maps, the location is picked up almost immediately. But as soon as you try to get turn by turn directions in either app (also happens on Nokia Here, but since it is deprecated I am not going to talk about it) once the route is set, the phone starts saying "Can't find GPS. Try going going outdoors" or "seeking GPS". It is not the GPS because the second I stop turn by turn navigation it finds the location immediately. The location icon appears on the notification bar on top as soon as the apps are launched, so I know it is working. Besides I do have another Windows 8 phone and it gets perfect GPS signal side by side.
This happens on Lumia 1520 for sure with the last few Release Preview or Release builds. I have seen on the web others complaining about it, but if I write @gabeaul on twitter about it, he never acknowledges it, although he does answer many other issues. Can anyone else test it and if you have the same problem let's find it on the connect app and up vote it, please. See if we can bring some light onto this issue.
Thanks.
