Wrong location / place by GPS - Location Services - GNSS - Maps

[Anna]

Anna, it looks like you are probably not imputing the correct modem number.

Thank you! That seems to have been the problem indeed. The modem number seems to change every time the screen lock takes over and afterwards the location gathering is back to where it was before. So I guess I should follow your advice, @fdlamotte.

Anyway, the

Code:

mmcli -m 0 --location-enable-gps-raw --location-enable-gps-nmea

command did change the results of

Code:

mmcli -m 7 --location-status

from

Code:

------------------------
  Location | capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb
          |      enabled: 3gpp-lac-ci
          |      signals: no
  ------------------------
  GPS      | refresh rate: 3600 seconds

to

Code:

------------------------
  Location | capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb
          |      enabled: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea
          |      signals: yes
  ------------------------
  GPS      | refresh rate: 0 seconds

Also

Code:

watch mmcli -m 1 --location-get

now yields some alien language I assume to be GPS coordinates.

The behaviour of maps, however, is still as described above: The location is very much off the mark.

Thanks for the link, @dukla2000. I had not found the thread (since search terms for some reason have to have to be at least four-letter-words and "GPS" is not.); reading it will be the next thing I do. (I hope the conclusion won't be that it simply does not work.)
