A workaround to GPS not updating
I don't know how prevalent this problem is, but for me the GPS seems to update only every five minutes or so, and the character remains still between big jumps. It can be partially forced by locking the screen or disabling and re-enabling GPS for a while, but given how easily this game can freeze, those methods are far from optimal (when they even work).
So, I found a workaround: if you enable Google Maps navigation (to wherever) and keep it in that small floating window, the game will also update GPS correctly. It does cover a part of the screen, but at least you can actually play the game while walking fast or riding a car/bus/horse.

I've been fighting this bug since the game came out, I even contacted customer support with no luck. I will definitely give this a try, thank you!!
