Workaround
If you’re having issues with your GPS navigation or Google Maps on your LG V30, this could either be due to a software issue or the GPS antenna in your phone. Most of the time you can fix the problem by ensuring you have the following settings in your phone:
- Go to Settings > Location.
- Tap on Mode.
- Select High accuracy (GPS and networks).
- Test your GPS by using Google Maps or any other application to see if it tracks your location better now.
- If changing your location mode doesn’t work, you can try downloading an application off the Google play store named “GPS Status & toolbox” to help increase your GPS accuracy even further.
- If you’re still having issues after setting the accuracy to High and downloading the GPS Status app, it might be a hardware issue with the GPS antenna. The best indication of a hardware issue is if your LG V30 cant detect any satellites to connect to. Consider sending your LG V30 for repair through your Carrier or going to a repair shop in that case.
