I've used it in car navigation mode (In Southern Portugal) and yesterday it navigated me on foot from a (London UK) tube station to an address about 1km away without problem in both cases it was precise enough for me to know where I was and when to turn.

FYI - "Here We Go" indicates the precision it's able to get with the size of the coloured circle around the position it says you're in. The bigger the circle the less precise its fix.

Obviously a GPS monitoring app can tell you how many satellites from what GPS systems it is getting a signal from (and it seems to use the Russian, US and Chinese ones) and where you are and when will clearly influence that. SatStat from location being off got 10 satellites in about 5 seconds with an 11m error band with me sat inside just now.

Hope that helps.
I tried those apps you mention, and being true sometimes it work correctly, sometimes doesnt, so I cant rely on GPS using the A2 pro, but reading about your experience it seems its better with the A6

Maybe you could tell how is your experience with GPS on Hisense A6. Is it trully precise?

And also would like to ask to you both if the eInk screen is not as dark as it is on the A2 pro. On yotaphone 2 it was much clearer.

Thanks
