Some of the LoRa boards do have built-in GPS so you do not have to rely on the phone's GPS. It also means accurate time, so you can display how long ago a message was received. When I tried meshtastic, the LCD had the option to point towards other receivers.
It also took 20 minutes for first GPS sync, which was less fun.

The stock antennas are absolutely pathetic and something like https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=GP.1575.25.4.A.02 https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=GP.1575.25.4.A.02 is much much better. The other significant improvement is using a board with a better GPS module, like the M8N version of the T-Beam.
