No location API

[appscreen]

We use Edge2 and the latest Android release. Some Apps dense work on our system. So we found out that the location API doesn’t work or doesn’t exist. Does anyone have a workable solution? Here is the error message:

Caused by [com.google.android](http://com.google.android/).gms.common.api.ApiException: 17: API: LocationServices.API is not available on this device. Connection failed with: ConnectionResult{statusCode=SERVICE_INVALID, resolution=null, message=null}

Hello @appscreen

@william.lin @goenjoy will help you then.

（1）Edge2 requires an external GPS module to use GPS functionality.

GPS module(receiver) for android

Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others? Android Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others? latest official android image Please describe your issue below: Hello, I am lookung for a gps module for egde2 on android os. Could you recommend any modules that will work 100% with egde2? I need it for my car project (for google maps etc.). P.s. also I have a edge2 IO module, and maybe it can be used to connect gps module with egde2

（2）What APK did you use for testing. Can you provide us with testing.

Latest official Android image downloaded via OOWOW.

We have a problem with this app…

play.google.com

hamm: – Apps bei Google Play

Leben in Hamm – gibt’s jetzt auch als App...

Free

We tried to use Fake GPS but the app needs the location api.

Edge2 has no GPS onboard? So on Edge + Captain was the GPS on Captain?

That would be a small catastrophe.

[william.lin]

YES， Edge2 has no GPS onboard。 Currently, we have disabled GPS by default.

OK…solution? Can we enable it? Workaround? USB GPS model?

[william.lin]

(1) enable GPS.
