In Nearby, GPS location does not work - it shows incorrect location (while other apps at the same time show correct location).
It was broken in slightly different way in previous versions (#6312), but the alleged fix in PR #6352 by @Jason-Whitmore does not seem to work for me (or something else broke in the meantime).
Steps to reproduce
have device without GMS1 (Google Mobile Services) and F-droid build
open some other app in which GPS works (I've used CoMaps and OsmAnd from F-droid)
verify that in that other app GPS works fine and always shows correct location
open Commons app and navigate to Nearby
notice the location is wrong
press the location ("sniper dot") button
notice the location does not change and is still wrong
switch back to other app
note that the location is correctly updating there all the time
(repeat steps 6-9, and see that the problem is consistent)
Expected behaviour
in steps 5 (and especially 7) Commons app would show correct location.
Actual behaviour
It shows some incorrect location (in this example - several kilometers off, where I was last time about a day ago)
Device name
Samsung Galaxy S23+
Android version
Android 15 (stock Samsung ROM, but degooglified, i.e. no GMS)
