is that only for the map(s) or is there a true GPS within the modem ?
The refresh periods will determine if you can use this for distance calculations such as speed.
Would it be possible to pre-load maps ? ( Like my old Garmin hand held GPS used to do )
So far when I attempt to use the app on my phone, it sometimes shows my exact location within my house
While it also sometimes shows me 5 miles away on the side of a mountain. ? Very Inconsistent !
I haven't tried using it truly offline yet, but from what I can tell it operates on map data you download into your device from a few different sources, such as openstreetmaps. GeoClue will need internet to do any geolocation without GNSS/GPS. However, it should pass on through satellite location if it is able to get a fix on your position with a nice clear view of the sky.
I have added my working (mostly) configuration and more details to the mobian wiki here: https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=navit
