GPS Location

Mboyte
I see, that should open a search box. Does it not show anything when you click on it?

Nothing happens. If you are not able to replicate the behavior, perhaps a security setting on my browser is preventing its use.

I'm having the same gps issue. All permissions granted updated version. All my other gps apps locating properly.

That's strange. It's not showing your location at all (still Searching)? Try reinstalling the app and see if that helps.

yeah
having the same issue on samsung A54
one UI version 7.0
Android version 15

location works fine on ventusky website and all other apps

but "Searching for GPS" and the my location button takes me south of Lagos

Thank you. Does it also happen to you on the mainland? I see you're not using the latest version – please try updating the app as well.

Same problem here, wrong GPS position. I'm running Ventusky Premium V54.3 on my Google Pixel 8. Is there a fix for this problem and reinstalling doesn't fix it! This is very annoying because as a sailor you have to get the correct GPS position. By the way, Windy is working.

How inaccurate is it? Is it just off by a little, or is it showing a completely different location?

Ventusky
It's showing a complete different position. E.g. I'm sailing in Korcular in the position shows somewhere around Zagreb ... hundreds of km away.

Did you use the button in the top-left corner to detect your current location? It looks like you have a fixed location selected, so it won't update automatically.

Ventusky
certainly, ...... back on the land it's remarkable to see that the location service is working again. It seems your app is having problems with my ship set-up. I'm using a 5G sim router to provide WLAN on board. Is it possible that this is confusing your app? And than, why just yours and not all the others like Windy, predict wind, etc.

In Android settings for Ventusky, have you enabled Precise Location or only Approximate Location?

Ventusky
come on are you serious? Check my previous information. On land it's working on sea not. The question is why? Because all your competitors are working great!

I don't understand. You don't mention this anywhere. The fact that it works on land has nothing to do with my question. It's a simple question, and the answer would let us understand how the location is determined on your device. The two settings work differently. The fix would then have to be made elsewhere on our side. I'm not disputing that the issue is on our side, and we do want to fix it. Unfortunately, we can't resolve it this way unless you help us.

Mám stejný problém. Po nové instalaci na samsung S24 si aplikace zapamtuje mojí aktuální polohu a poté ji už nezmění. Aplikace má veškerá oprávnění na přesnou polohu a nefunguje ani určení přes terčík. Zkusil jsem vymazat mezipamět, restartovat telefon, přeinstalovat aplikaci. Jiné aplikace fungují a při spuštění se v horní liště objevý ikonka GPS u ventusky si nikdy neobjeví.

I’m having the same problem. After reinstalling the app on my Samsung S24, it remembers my current location and then won’t change it. The app has all the necessary permissions for precise location tracking, and even the compass function isn’t working. I’ve tried clearing the cache, restarting the phone and reinstalling the app. Other apps work fine, and when you launch them, the GPS icon appears in the top bar, but it never appears for Ventusky.
