Hello.
There is an application for Android and IOS that works with GPS (determines the location, the distance from the switching point to the current position ...) I have tested this whole thing on several machines, public transport - everything works.
Everything would be fine, but for two people on two different machines, the program categorically refuses to connect to satellites (both on IOS and on Android). On the street - it connects in 3 - 10 seconds, in the car - no. Although they say that they actively use navigation programs in the same cars, they say it works.
High accuracy is important for the program (100 meters - 120 meters of error - the edge. At the moment, if more than 65 meters, the program will refuse to work), because of this, I see no reason to use wifi and communication towers to obtain coordinates.
I have no idea how to solve this situation. What can you suggest?

Use regular geolocation in the OS API, and don't try to use/switch GPS/Wi-Fi/GSM yourself.

Is just a remote antenna or a remote GPS not an option?
