How can I check the GPS operation (without network connection) by regular means in the store.
And why is this necessary? Are you afraid that the GPS will not work? I think the chances that the GPS is not working are close to zero. Still answer.
Generally speaking, in a store (if it is not open-air), GPS cannot be checked. But if you start Google Maps and go outside, so that the GPS antenna of the phone can see the satellites, then after a while the flashing GPS icon (at the top of the status bar) will turn permanently on. This means that the coordinates were determined, the GPS is working. This process, however, can take up to several minutes. Of course, you must first enable the use of GPS in the settings.
