Why can't they find me?

Why can't they find me? - Low Angle View of Man Standing at Night

I have been stuck on the "acquiring user location" screen for a while, and I know for a fact that my device's GPS does work in other apps, such as Maps and My Tracks. How can I bypass this screen?



Best Answer

You can use the Back button to switch to the main game screen.

However, this answer will not help you in any way. The whole point of Ingress is to walk around (even though some people drive …) and hack portals. For the most part the game mechanics depend on your precise location; Ingress (mostly) refuses to work when it cannot acquire that.

You cannot do anything with Ingress on a phone without working GPS. So why bother?
