Exploreoz app was working fine for many weeks in offline maps mode on my Samsung S7+ tablet purchased December last year. Around the middle of May the location position was working on and off and then stopped working pretty much from then on. The maps are obviously still there but will not show my position/location on the map.
I can close and open the app but it makes no difference. The satellite icon in the upper left corner of the screen is green.
I’m not sure what to do to diagnose the problem. I have checked the permissions in the settings on the tablet but they seem to be ok. Have thought about un-installing the app and re-installing it but l have saved track data/log and do not wish to lose that, but also not sure what to do to diagnose the problem or whether it is a gps problem with the tablet or an issue with the exploreoz ap.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, after doing a factory reset the night before taking the tablet to Samsung for repairs, there was still no gps, however the next morning l tried it again the using the gps status app that Frank suggested and it was working again.
I tested it in my local area with exploreoz and all seemed to be fine again. l am thinking that a software update may have caused the problem.
Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Phil
