I have Wio tracker l1 pro and while it has dedicated “tracker” mode , Meshtastic app in route tracking using phone gps only. Is there some workaround to use nodes gps? Or maybe there is some iOS apps that can use nodes GPS as a source?

I don't have my node near me to check, but I believe in the settings there is an option to use the device's GPS location instead of the phone's location.

The setting might be called GPS mode and you'll want it enabled assuming your device has a GPS chip.

Probably you mean this settings and how is enabled here and device has gps module, but still if I track route it uses only phones location

@tracyspcy
I understood some come with their own gps chips?
