How I can get gps signal on my iPhone indoor?

373 views Asked by At

I developed an app which calculates distances between current position(lat and long) and another stores location. Current position comes from built-in Gps on iPhone. In some buildings is working indoor( like 8meters far from windows or doors). Why is it working indoor? How can I still get GPS signal without WiFi/3G/4G connection?

i hope someone can answer me

Welcome to SO.

The short answer is, it's out of your control. GPS is not reliable indoors. Sometimes you are able to get a signal, sometimes not. Metal frame buildings are worse than wood-frame buildings, and brick also tends to interfere with GPS signals. Florescent lights also tend to interfere.

In a given indoor setting you'll either get a GPS signal or not.
