Description

Affected app
Name: CoMaps, or Organic Maps
Package id: app.comaps.fdroid

Describe the bug
When enabling this option, which makes it so that the app uses the location provider from Google Play Services instead of the one in the system, your location will not update properly, you can keep the app open, and then move far away, and your indicator will still be in the same place.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install CoMaps or Organic Maps, set up, etc
  2. Go on its settings, and under Privacy enable Google Play Location Services / Google Play Fused Location
  3. Go in the map
  4. Move far away

Expected behavior
The current location indicator moves with you almost instantly

Screenshots

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in CoMaps or Organic Maps with Google Play Location Services enabled on Android 15 QPR2 and microG 0.3.7. Trace the location-provider path used by this setting and compare updates while moving far away. Done means the current-location indicator updates promptly with the option enabled.
