Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I've an XTRONS Android 8.1
    Google Maps will only work using GPS.
    Won't work using Location Services, which is enabled.

    Any ideas?

    I've just found out that if I go into Google Location Settings and choose
    Battery Saving, it works.

    The top option GPS / WiFi seems to only work if GPS has a fix.

    In case anyone else has this issue.
    You need a GPS fix plain and simple. You'll get some sort of fix with WiFi but it's pretty unusable.
    For placing the GPS antenna, you don't need line of sight. I have mine under the passenger side dash, located close to an air vent, where it seemed it had the least obstruction between it and the sky.
