Hello there!
I have fixed this issue on my phone!
*#*#3646633#*#* to enter engineering mode, then Location->Location Based Service. In UP/CP Switching select Control Plane, in Control Plane Settings select Assistance Data.
Now GPS point is accurate and stable.
Best Regards.

I got same Gps problems and many other bugs before and after upgrade to 7.1.1

Guys.
Please use Google maps and activate navigation then make some trip and we see do you still have GPS issues.
If you only switch on map (without navigation) than GPS accuracy could be slightly out ( MTK chip most time is 4 - 6 meters).
If you still have same GPS faults I can recommend use SPFT and flash complete ROM
Here is SPFT updating instruction

And here all available ROMs

If this didn't help then you need contact to seller for solution.

Hello,

This issue wasn't before the update to android 7. I use Wikiloc for walking app and this is now a problem and before the update it was not a problem. In Maps you can't see the route you are going, you can only follow the route. With Wikiloc, you see the route you're walking, in lines, see the image above. In that way you can see there's a problem for a stable GPS. The link you are sending is for an Umi Z Pro, I have an Umi Z. A flash of complete ROM is only for experienced users, so I hope you come with an OTA update to solve this problem.

Since my update from android 6 to android 7 on my UMI Z, my GPS is not very good anymore. The signal is weak and when I use my walking app now, you see the GPS is constantly seeking (pending), so you get a very irregular route. In the attachement you see it. A few weeks ago, with android 6, this was NOT a problem. How are you going to fix this problem? When is there an update for this problem?

Wkr,

Eltjo

No my friend. Google Maps is USELESS. GPS FIX PRECISION - ALWAYS PENDING
