I'm not convinced that location-service is causing issues here. We do not switch on positioning unless someone explicitly asks us to do so. In that case, it will take ~30 seconds until network-based positioning kicks in and likely another 2 - 3 minutes until the GPS hands us a position. With that, we are likely seeing a race on startup here.
For Pete's statement: The location service deals in numeric values on purpose. Geocoding and reverse geocoding is consciously left out and we assume other layers of the system to do a better job of the encoding/decoding task (we also want to avoid calling "home" to a geoip service from a central system service). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1481240 Title: Can't get correct location information before use other GPS apps Status in NearBy Scope: New Status in location-service package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My location should be Tainan, Taiwan.
