Hello sailfish community, once again I have a problem with the navigation of 'here' from the Jolla Store. I had to reinstall my system some time ago, before 'here' worked fine. I have OS 3.0.1.11 on my Jolla C. When I now start the app, I have activated the GPS before. When I try to navigate, I get the message that the GPS signal is being searched. But it is never found. Okay, then I am installing an old version again and downloaded version 2.0.11457. No change, again no GPS signal. What can I do?

Not really an answer, but install Pure Maps and OSM Scout Server. I did, and never looked back.

In the past some Here versions showed strange behaviour when aquiring and holding GPS fix. More recent versions work fine on my Aquafish (Jolla C) and Xperia X. I never installed Here from Jolla store, but used Yalp store instead to get current app versions. May be the Jolla store version of Here is still affected.

@accumulator: great suggestion, I regularly use Pure maps myself. It could completely replace Here if it had live traffic information...

@ziellos, Pure Maps has traffic info, depending on which map layer you are using, here's some screenshots with Mapbox and traffic in Berlin:

Mapbox - traffic - night

Mapbox - traffic - day

For reference, here's the situation now:

Mapbox - traffic

@racetti Really? Pure Maps has traffic info? Thats great. It's the only reason I use here. And by the way @Hilleberg here from jolla store is working fine on my xperia with 3.0.1.11

For viewing purposes, Pure Maps has traffic layers from HERE and Mapbox. HERE is a bit more accurate in the place I live. So, in short, yes you could see traffic in Pure Maps.

Pure Maps does not have routing that would use traffic data. After introduction of profiles in Pure Maps, there is a legal way now to make an application that would hook to HERE services, including routing with traffic. This mainly includes reading API docs from HERE and implementing mainly JSON / python / qml snippets in appropriate places. I have other priorities now, but if someone wants to do it, please do.

Since you are a fairly new user, did you have a look in settings -> location and check if gps/positioning options are activated at all?

After some system updates it got disabled in the past, for licensing reasons is my guess.
