Hi,
I created a GPS app based on the turitorial. The app works fine while I am in EU.
When I travel to Asia, the app does not work. Where can the problem be?

I run the app, the window opens and in 1 second it falls down. Usually no error message pops up at all.
But sometimes it says that the app has stopped working.

It does not matter whether I switch no/off the mobile network or whether I use my roaming SIM, or a local SIM.

When I return to EU, the app works fine again.
Strange....

Do other GPS apps on the phone work? Particularly Google Maps.

Is the internet connection working? As in, when the phone has to recalculate its position from scratch, it can take several minutes to load the full satellite almanac(s), and a common shortcut is to fetch the almanac(s) via the internet.

Yes, other applications that use GPS work smoothly. I am not in abroad now, I did not set up the log file before. I will do next time.
