If you think it is taking a long time to get a lock on your location when using a specific mobile application, it may be due to your device’s GPS settings. One of the more frustrating problems on the Samsung Galaxy S9 aside from dealing with odd results from such apps, is the inbuilt GPS. In order to ensure optimal location determination, the option “GPS, W-Lan and mobile networks” should be activated.
