My son has an iPod touch 5th generation and enjoys playing pokemon go. He connects to wifi through hot spots or other ways, but often gets "GPS signal has been lost" because the iPod touch does not come with GPS like a phone does. Are there ways to connect a GPS device to his iPod touch to eliminate this problem?
iPod touch, 5th generation
My son has this problem with his iPad.
I let him connect to my mobile phones network via the personal hotspot so as long as he's with me he can play it fine. Be careful of your data usage. I have unlimited data so it's perfect this way for us.
I hope that helps.
Afraid not.

You can't.
Actually, he can and does....he just often loses GPS signal because the touch does not have GPS built in like a phone does. If he is in a spot with a lot of satellite, he doesn't lose GPS as easily or when in my car, which has GPS. When connected to a hot spot or wifi, it is possible to play...the GPS has just been an issue sometimes. I saw where someone found a GPS chip or device that could be connected to the touch, making it capable of GPS, therefore, helping him not lose signal connection. Was hoping someone can tell me exactly what it is called and where to get it. Thanks for the help!
Actually the iPod Touch uses the location of your wifi... if theres no wifi signal, it can't get it's location.
The location also might not be as accurate as GPS.
