I am facing a problem on my S8 Plus while using Google Maps.... Whenever I start maps while using earphones or Bluetooth and put my phone in my pocket... The GPS signal is lost... And map stops working then... It won't tell what turns to take... Since the GPS signal was lost... How to fix this ?

      Don't put the phone in your pocket. It needs to have a line of sight connection with at least 4 satellites to get a position lock.

      It depends on the GPS module and atmospheric conditions.
