Camera GPS coordinates not accurate. Google coordinates perfect. How to fix this?

Hey.
Instant GPS Lock, Maps show wrong location, Navigation takes 10mins to find GPS??
So my GPS connects instantly using GPS Test APP. But on Maps it shows me as wrong location so I cannot use that to navigate.
Navigation on the other hand, GPS works perfectly, but it takes 10mins for the navigation to start and it to find GPS.
Is it because Navigation is trying to download maps, and my data connection being slow?
I am on stock no custom rom.
Please let me know how to fix this.
Thanks.
Green bars don't mean you're locked in on this phone. You get a lock when you have an Accuracy reading or a green circle with GPS Test app. In GPS Status app, it's the Lat/Long/Altitude/Last Fix ect...when locked. You probably have bad GPS. Mine connects in around 2-3 minutes.
My GPS connects in like 10 seconds max. Maybe you have a bad GPS.
Is there a recommended app for calibration or testing?
My new phone can see the satellites but not lock on. Also my compass doesnt work. Are they related?
HI!
I am totally lost. I have several phones that have GPS and interial sensors like compass, gyro and g-Sensor. I have some older phones with cROMS that support navigation perfectly. Now I got a phone that picks up satellite data very fast, but I bet it does not correctly provide the sensor data to the navigation.
Result: It picks you up on gmaps, sygic or navigon, but if you drive and turn right at a crossing, the pointer on the map goes straight onwards. After some time it then jumps to your correct position. I tested different navigation apps and all of them behave a bit different as they use different alogorythms to keep you on track, but all of them fail, as they seem not to get valid g-sensor, compass and gyro data.
But if I start an app like androsensor, I can see that the show, roughly guessed, correct values...
So now I am puzzled! How does android provide sensor information to a navigation application? Is there a test framework in AOSP/CM to check if it works, is there a description or is there anyone who can help me a bit to find the right track in the software?
Btw. I checked NMEA strings and they do not inherit data about magnetic compass or bearing, velocity and accelleration. But they dont too in all my other phones, that worked really good with navigation.
Thank you in advance for any hint or trick

When I open an app that requires positioning, I need to know if my position is determined with wifi/cellular tower or with gps satellites. On my previous phones I knew it because when the gps fix was not made yet, the icon blinked. Now on the sg7 the icon is always steady.
I have root and xposed... I have found an exposed module that could do this but it's only for kitkat.
Any suggestion?
Set location to GPS only

You should have not understood my question (maybe because of my poor english). I don't want to disable cellular towers/wifi positioning. I only want to know, at a given moment, if my position is determined with cellular towers/wifi or with gps.
For example, if I open google maps:
1) The gps icon is blinking: this means that my position is determined with cellular towers/wifi
2) The gps icon stop blinking: this means that the phone got a gps fix, so my position is determined with gps
This is the normal behavior for 99% of the phones. For some reason in the galaxy S7 the gps icon stays steady so it's impossible for me to know when the phone get a gps fix.
What sat counts do you see outdoors and indoors? (used / in view)
Never checked but the GPS is very accurate, i use this phone for bike navigation.
