It is recommended to use the GPS function outside under clear sky for best result.

It's possible that you might get GPS coverage when you are inside but it depends on building etc. We can't guarantee that you get any GPS connection when you are inside a building.

Hi,

If you are going indoors, then GPS is not your best friend.

Turn your mobile networks Google's Location services on for best results,

Settings > Location Services > Google's Location Services

in fact sometimes I feel like the location services is better than GPS.

Hope this helps.
