    Description

      Apparently positioning performance on android are sub-par.
      Using GMS might help.

      An attempt has been initiated here:
      https://github.com/qt/qtlocation/compare/dev...vok1980:feature/google-play-services-positioning-plugin

      At the time of writing, though, the implementation is missing.

      Starting point is
      https://developer.android.com/training/location/index.html
      where Google now states
      "The Google Play services location APIs are preferred over the Android framework location APIs (android.location) as a way of adding location awareness to your app. If you are currently using the Android framework location APIs, you are strongly encouraged to switch to the Google Play services location APIs as soon as possible. "
