Listen buddy, before trying to dicredit me and the others take a look at the Google searches. We know how to use GPS. I used it for two years with asus and years before that using Samsung and huawei. Congrats on buying one of the few unfaulty phones asus made. But asus needs to step up and you need to actually read the comments and stop pretending your are a guru about all things gps. Our issues are real, you sir, I doubt are.

I have this phone for 4 months and I don't have any issue on it. For those who are complaining about GPS might as well contact the store first/use your warranty and find out what really causes the issue before posting some feedback here.
Funny, how these people complaining about GPS but how are they testing it? Please don't tell me that you guys are using pokemon go as a method of testing the GPS.

WOW, just read all the reviews below- had no idea the amount of gps issues on this thread- looks like its substantial!!
BE ADVISED_ DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE_ ITS FAULTY##########
Original post....
After owning the original Zenfone 5 A500CJ for two years and loving its simplicity and execution i decided to again purchase the latest offering from Asus- the Asus Zenfone ZB551KL.
I Used the A500CJ as a business phone making in excess of 30 calls per day, using its camera for site inspections appraisals, and using its GPS for pin point location when walking thru the streets of my city ( Melbourne Australia) to ensure i make it to my appointments directly- saving me time looking for the correct address.
2 years it served me well, battery declined as they all do - so i upgraded ..to this heap of CRAP! A search on the asus forums shows 12 threads started by non related posters (tip of the iceberg) where a GPS issue exists- no response from ASUS, the issue is simple, the GPS wont work- the phone does not pick up gps signals. ASUS knows this and they have not rectified the issue. The phone is either faulty- (please google gps and zb551KL for yourself) or has faulty software which wont be fixed. Either way if you need GPS ( which you are indeed paying for) you will not be able to use it with this phone. Sorry asus, you had a fan, i own your 2013 Nexus7 , i own two of your zenfones, i bought a Zenpad S and i bought my son a zenfone whilst in Thailand on a family holiday. But im considering samsung or Huawei or HTC or even Xiaomi for heavens sake?? still deciding......
Needless to say- im a fan- but why have you dropped your quality control??

Not recommended for playing pokemon go. GPS position is very unstable in game especially when there are lots of overhead obstructions. My old ZF5 performs much better. Hope this is only a SW issue that is fixable by FW upgrade in the future.

Been using waze and pokemon go for this phone. Works fine up to today. Just bought it last month.
Hope it doesn't go crazy on me later on.

EllaineD, 17 Aug 2016Can I play pokemon go using this phone?You can, but the GPS is so crappy that you don't even want to. Suggest to buy a different phone than this.
While riding a vehicle, the GPS is so crappy that it won't detect where you are and when it does detect, it's not the exact place.
