Q: Location
None of all map apps I tried (deafult Maps, Google maps, 2GIS) can show my exact location - they just show my appoximate location with a large circle which is maybe a kilometer in diameter. I have a good connecton, I tried several wi-fi points - it's all the same result. I was almost sure it's not about the app, but the settings inside the phone itself, couldn't find anythin though
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.2
