Try disabling rerouting for Geolocation requests to GrapheneOS, because I personally found the gps provider integrated in it to be almost unusable, since it doesn't implement Bluetooth/wifi scanning at all.

Yes that means google will get your location, but it's still better than going back to stock which is also better than any other third party skin in terms of privacy/security.

We're going to provide other network location providers including local ones. The existing ones aren't up to our standards which is why we didn't simply bundle them. In theory, we could also support toggling on the less privacy SUPL mode which leaks your location to the SUPL server but can get location without GNSS satellite reception.

Would be great, as giving google my location doesn't feel great.

It's possible that there was something I didn't figure out how to configure correctly, but I spent a good chunk of time on our vacation mucking with various settings, including disabling re-routing location to the OS :/

I had the same experience with the Disney parks app not working properly at all on Graphene. Otherwise I haven’t had issues, even with other fitness/map apps that require GPS.
