"Scanner disabled; location inaccurate" in Ingress Whenever I open the app, the game is stuck on the "Scanning to acquire user location..." screen. If I force the game to go to the main screen by pressing my device's back button, it shows a black screen with the words "Scanner disabled; location inaccurate.""

However, when I use a different app that requires GPS such as My Tracks, or simply Maps (both by Google, Inc), my location is pinpointed perfectly. What's wrong?
Try updating google maps. This is what worked for me (after none of the other stuff mentioned worked.)
