# Collect Mobile unable to access GPS in Asus tablet running Android 5

Asked by Andras on 2018-06-18

Hi,

Has any of you experienced this?
Access to location info permitted, positioning on, positioning works in GMaps but not in CM.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Andras

Have you followed these instructions?

Also, did you perhaps change the location settings in the developer options to emulate the location with an external GPS or similar?

> Hi! Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I don't have the gadget with me, I am asking on behalf of a colleague. I am pretty sure the developer options haven't been changed. I have passed on the link, let's see if the solution can be found there. Cheers! Andras (Andras)
