Did you notice it started to work worse over last ~2 years?
I shared problems in another comment here - TL;DR: worked seemingly good some 3+ years ago, started being flaky before covid, and seems much worse since covid.
So even if remote area was covered with cellular network, I would not rely on location sharing to show where I am not even where I was.
- renewiltord 5y agoIt seems to be working just the same as before. Maybe it's interacting poorly with a phone feature of yours like Battery Saver or something? I also think my Pixel 5 is like worse at a few of these things than my Pixel 2 so who knows.
- techcode 5y agoThat stuff might be part. Though in some combinations the phone (and battery saving settings or such) haven't changed. And although on one hand going from being at same place for hours if not days (home during covid), and then in just 10-15min reaching another place without any or with really bad cellular reception could be messing with optimizations of location sharing. I recall few situations where both wife and I were next to each other, both phones running google maps at the moment, each hitting on refreshing/retrying getting the other ones location - and thing still showing us as currently offline.
- renewiltord 5y agoHuh, I haven't seen that happen. That sucks, man.
