Hello friends,

A small glitch I found on my reno 10x, (pcm00) google map doesn't know my location and no matter what permission i gave to google map, it still does not auto locate and update my location.

When i was using nokia 7 plus (which i also bought in china), google map worked fine and were able to auto locate my location, as long I am using a vpn.

Normally this is not an issue since other local Chinese map apps work perfect, but i am travelling to Germany soon, so this gets me worry a bit.

I have not had a chance to try google map outside of China yet, and am wondering if this situation will remained even if im not in China.

Anyone else have this phone that is currently in a place with firewall-free internet access and can give me any conformation? Thanks, really appreciate it.

I'm using the same phone in the US. No vpn on AT&T. I don't have a problem with Google maps except that I can't turn on location history for timeline. Otherwise location works fine. I've used Google maps dozen of times for directions and no problems locating me.
