Hi all,
I just bought a new Joying 9" headunit (JY-MSQ124N4GN) with Android 10. I'm finding the GPS is very unreliable. It will fix on satellites but then quickly lose connection. It will then continually reconnect/disconnect. It's quite obvious when using my mapping apps that it's lost connection. The GPS receiver is mounted just under the dashboard and there is no metal above it.
Is there a way to increase the connection reliability? I have downloaded the GPS Locker app but it loses connection but still 'locked'. I've read some GPS receivers need a metal sheet underneath to act as a ground plane. Is this necessary?
