GPS is working fine for me in CSPro 7 on Android 6. Are you sure the device you are testing on has a working GPS?

Find GPS Coordenate GPS error! Thanks

Hi diaznhugo,

Solo para estar seguros, prueba colocar el idioma del dispositivo en Ingles (Estados Unidos) e intenta obtener la lectura GPS nuevamente.
Asegurate de estar completamente en el exterior, y no en el interior de un edificio, por ejemplo.
Tal vez eso pueda ayudar a que obtengas la lectura.

Just to make sure, try setting up the device language to English (US), and then try to get GPS reading again.
Also, when you do it, make sure that you are completely outside, not inside a building for example, cause that may cause bit of troubles.
Hope that it would help.

Saludos.
Regards.

As Joshua said, it is important to be outside in clear view of the sky. Google maps uses a combination of GPS hardware, cell towers and wifi signals to compute a location which means it can work inside even when the GPS satellites are not reachable. CSPro uses only the GPS satellites. This gives a more precise location but means that you need to be able to connect to the satellites. Also you way want to increase the timeout on the GPS read. Try setting it to 5 minutes and see if that works. I have found that sometimes it takes a while the first time and after that I can decrease the timeout to 30 seconds or a minute.
