I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it's not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven't found?

Edit: nevermind, my phone is just on the fritz. Location doesn't work at all anymore :/

I use Organic Maps these days but just fired Osmand up to test and it was near instantaneous and located me when it opened. Samsung S22u

I havent done anything to setting etc that I am aware, it has been on my phones for a long time (and came across from my previous Samsung Note 9) so I may have done something back in the day.
