If you’re still experiencing GPS problem in Pokemon Go then here’s a basic set of guide that might help on fixing that “GPS signal not found” on your Android smartphone or iPhone.

Be sure to check the requirements first before playing the Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go recommended specs, system requirements, supported devices

  • At least 1GB RAM in memory
  • Minimum 720p HD resolution supporting tablet, phablet, and smartphone
  • Android OS 4.4.4 KitKat and later version (4.4.2 working thru APK installer)
  • Android 7.0 Nougat supported
  • iPhone 5 and up
  • iOS 8 and up
  • Strong WiFi or Cellular 3G/4G LTE connection
  • Gyroscope not needed (as AR works in phones without gyroscope)
  • Outdoor / clear sky for phones with low satellite signaling system

How to fix GPS signal not found or Location on Pokemon Go

  1. Be sure to turn on location from settings
  2. Turn on all permissions in settings (Android 6.0 and up)
  3. Connect to fast WiFi or cellular internet connection
  4. Go outdoors to get direct signaling from GPS satellite
    1. This means staying away inside a building as it blocks direct beaming
  5. Sunny or clear sky gets you the best GPS signal

Empty Maps, No Pokestops, No Pokemon Go Gyms

  1. The cause of this problem for most is GPS issue which can be solved thru above guide
  2. Another probable cause is slow and intermittent internet connection

Those are basically the very basic stuff on how to fix that GPS problem or location on your phone. We have tried it on phones like Lenovo, Cherry Mobile, Samsung, Huawei, Sony, and Asus and we have proved that some phones will need to be outside to get a better GPS signal.

For other errors like logging in or crashes before playing the game as well as installation errors, please go to our other How to Fix Error guide.
