Android Central Question

I am using samsung s8 in which google map always shows searching for GPS once navigation starts and as I reach my destination,without help of google map, its says you reached your destination, so while driving or walking google Is stuck for searching for GPS. Please suggest a solution.
 
Try this (no guarantee that it will fix the problem):

Open the Phone, as if you were going to make a phone call and dial -
*#9090# -- Diagnostic Configuration (*#197328640# if that doesn't work)
Menu, select Key Input, enter Q
Menu, select Key Input, enter 0000
Wait for the next menu. (It takes a while.)
UMTS->COMMON->NV REBUILD->NV REBUILD->SYSTEM->PROTOCOL->GPS->IMS
or, if you don't have UMTS:
UE SETTINGS & INFO->SETTING->SYSTEM->NV REBUILD->ALL

Restart the phone.

The initial GPS fix could take a long time if you're moving, bur subsequent fixes take about 3 seconds. GPS Status & Toolbox will show you what's happening with the GPS receiver. (You have to have Location set to high accuracy for GPS to be running.)
