GPS not found can be simply understood as the location service not functioning. For games like Pokemon Go that rely on location-based movement, encountering this error means you can't continue playing the game. Some Pokemon Go players have reported to Mytour that they only occasionally experience this issue. Let's explore the reasons behind it in this article.
Fix the GPS Not Found Issue in Pokemon Go
Method 1: Enable location services again.
- On iPhone.
Navigate to Settings > Privacy (General), then select Location Services.
Slide the Location Services switch from OFF to ON as shown.
- On Android.
Navigate to Settings > Location.
Slide similar to iPhone to switch Location from OFF to ON.
Method 2: Weak GPS signal.
Often, when encountering GPS not found in Pokemon Go, it's because you're indoors. With many walls obstructing, the GPS service struggles to pinpoint your location, even with a strong WiFi signal, you may still face this issue.
The remedy is to move outdoors to a more open space, ensuring the GPS reconnects.
Above are two methods to help users fix the GPS not found error when playing Pokemon Go on both Android and iOS operating systems.
If you love Pokemon but prefer not to move too much to avoid potential risks like accidents or thefts, you can still immerse yourself in the Pokemon world by playing Pokemon Go on PC. Using Bluestacks to play Pokemon Go on PC minimizes potential risks, and playing on PC with Bluestacks is also the safest and most secure way to play Pokemon Go.
Playing Pokemon on PC may lead to encountering the 'Your Bag is Full' error in Pokemon Go. This issue arises when your item bag is full. To resolve this, refer to the article on fixing the 'Your Bag is Full' error when collecting items at PokeStops. Once you've gathered a decent number of Pokemon and aim to power them up, paying attention to their stats becomes crucial. To determine which Pokemon to evolve, check their IV, the overall stats of the Pokemon, which is a key factor in evaluating whether a Pokemon is strong or weak. The process of checking IV is simple, and Mytour has previously published an article introducing it.
