You could try clearing the cache. And as a last resort, you could uninstall the app completely and reinstall it. Given that you’ve mentioned that the other apps that require GPS are working fine. ---

When the app receives Location, it has a confidence score ([accuracy](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#getAccuracy())). The mobile app checks whether it is in reasonable bounds; I think it was around 35 or 40 meters. You see this dialog when you either don’t have Location enabled or it’s just not good enough (often times inside a building, sometimes in big cities, etc.). cc @Anders \_\_ BR, Yaro ---

@une_abeille - another thing I see in your screenshot is that your device doesn’t seem to have internet connectivity (evidenced by the “!” in the top right) - do you have a connection on this device? ---

The problem persisted even with a 4G connection. But I keep it deliberately turned off and it does not impact GPS connectivity on any other app. ---

The next time you can’t capture due to “bad GPS”, can you check the GPS accuracy? There are many free apps that can do this, for instance [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en\_GB](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en_GB) (or any other app that you prefer that show the accuracy in meters). We use this value to determine if the GPS is good enough or not. ---

As another bug report, the app serves me map tiles with Arabic (?) place names: ![Screenshot_20261002-072110](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/mapillary/original/3X/e/e/ee6481880183923c93d1a82af291e9cd06a51294.jpeg) This may be at a higher level than the app itself, as link previews for Facebook links are also in Arabic on my device. As my IP is in Canada, I’m not sure why. [Previous page](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/android-open-testing-android-16-6-14-2/10634.md?page=1)
