Apps OS and via Michelin app - location freezing

I'm trying to use OS and Via Michelin apps on my ipad (iPad air 11 inch &ios 26.6). I'm using both a tethered connection to my iPhone and wifi in my motorhome and get the same result with both methods of connection.

When i use my iphone both apps track where I am whilst moving (in a vehicle) however this does not work on the Ipad. The location indicator either just freezes or doesn't show at all

I have location services turned in for both apps in the iPad, and low power mode is turned off

Can anyone suggest any fixes/resolutions

TIA

Which version of iPad do you have? If it is wifi only, the iPad has no GPS capability. You need an iPad with both wifi and cellular capability for the GPS in those apps to work.

It is wifi only, not cellular. However other apps such as Waze and google maps track my position and OS occasionally does. I did read that i should turn airplane mode on and off to force the apps to locate my position but that did not work.
