Dudu7 GPS signal

MrDuaGang

My Dudu7 frequently loses GPS signal even though the cables are fully connected. I updated to the latest OTA version June 17, 2024. How to fix it?

MrDuaGang Did you solve this issue?

Please check the number of satellites and signal strength with GPStest.
USB 3.0 devices can also interfere with satellite signals

MrDuaGang

Until now 24/3/2025 my DuDu7 still has frequent GPS connection errors. I have updated OS3.5.
I have tried removing the GPS antenna and reinstalling it many times or changing the installation location but nothing has changed.

MrDuaGang Can you install the app GPSTest? It would be interesting to see how many satellites are seen - or not. You may only be seeing Google Location Accuracy information.

MrDuaGang yo he tenido ese problema y se debia a que la antena gps estaba muy cerca de una dashcam, o camara de vision delantera, parece que hay interferencias con la señal gps.

Longer stops, longer cold starts, longer GPS searches.

Segundo this might explain why they recommend the antennas be located bottom right corner of dash instead of up my rear view mirror. I found this thread looking for placement comments.

Is there any other information related to best practice for antena placement?

I also have an issue with the GPS. I installed the antenna at the bottom right of the windshield as recommended. My phone can lock 90 satellites in seconds using GPSTEST, whereas it takes up to a minute for DUDU7 to lock in about 15 satellites maximum. This is a big problem when in the city, because the GPS loses signal for 5-10 seconds frequently.
What is the solution for this?
Change the DUDU GPS antenna to a better model?
Is there a setting that is relevant that we can change?
