Description

Hi,

Two apps I’m using are having troubles with Maps API (or maybe something else): OpenSignal and Sensorly.

Both are supposed to show an overlay of signal coverage/strength above the world map provided by the Maps API. But with μG, they only show the map. Also, both are supposed to display current location and follow it if I’m travelling, but except that I can see in status bar a that location is being requested and obtained by the GPS, nothing happens in the apps.

And finally, Sensorly stops responding on any move, zoom in or out, etc.

Please tell me if there is anything I can provide or test for you to fix this. ;)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in OpenSignal and Sensorly on μG, focusing on map overlays, current-location updates, movement, and zooming. Compare the results with the Maps API and location behavior described in the issue; done means both apps display overlays and follow the current location without becoming unresponsive.
