No GPS signal: This approach solves the problem

If you want a navigation device or your smartphone to display a route to a desired location, you usually need a GPS signal. This is the only way the device knows where you are at the moment. If there is no GPS signal, this can be due to various causes.

This is what you can do if you don't receive a GPS signal

In order to have your position determined by a device, a GPS signal is necessary. If it is not available at the moment, this can have different reasons. In this case, you need to proceed step by step to fix the error.

1. Depending on the device, first check in the settings whether the GPS function has been activated. On your smartphone, you can usually find this in the "Settings" app under the "Location" item. If you are using a navigation device, the missing signal may also be due to an incorrect time zone.
2. In addition, look around your surroundings. If you are inside a building or near other signal sources such as power poles, then this can also interfere with the signal. If necessary, change the location to receive GPS.
3. In Android devices, it can happen in the developer option that pseudo-locations are enabled, which interfere with the signal. Disable them.
4. In some circumstances, the problem may also be due to the integrated GPS antenna. In diesem Fall ist es notwendig, den Hersteller oder Verkäufer für eine Reparatur zu kontaktieren.
