I enabled GPS and nothing happened. The locator page shows zero coordinates.
After you enabled GPS, you do not have to do anything else. It could take a few minutes for the hardware GPS chip to get a position fix. We suggest to wait and check back on the coordinates after some time. |
| |
I enabled GPS option and waited for 10 minutes, but coordinates are still zeros.
Make sure your device has an internal built-in GPS. Currently Deluxe Moon works only with internal GPS receivers.
