The workaround for scaling is to set it to use fullscreen in the custom config - you need to edit the config to enable the maps you want anyway. I've not bothered writing a howto as I haven't sorted the map parsing problem yet. Then there's the gpsd issue...

Good to hear the flatpak works - I've not tried it on the phone yet. The working location suggests it's using Geoclue, and it's probably off because it's only got cell and wifi locations to go on as the GPS doesn't have a fix.
