gps require line of sight with 3 satellites to be accurate


indoors with thick walls block this, move toward a window or go outside

if it can't get a fixture it will fall back on using the location provided to it by the cellular tower it's connected to

or the wifi router if not connected to the cellular network this will always be less accurate
