Bug Description
Hello,
I think that for now NearBy scope is pretty useless on MX4 with mobile data (not WiFi), because of really bad discovering position. If I don't use some navi app before refreshing NearBy, position is not accurate as it should. I think that is connected with GPS fix that phone is getting while starting navi app.
So for now if I want to get some useful data from NearBy, I'm opening HERE maps, waiting for a gps fix (~ 1 minute) and refreshing scope. This is in contradiction with the assumption of quick access to information.
In Android we can turn on Location History - it seems that phone is asking for position in some short time periods, so phone don't lose GPS fix and knows almost all the time where it is. Maybe such thing should be implemented (asking for GPS position every x seconds/minutes) in Ubuntu? But in that case there should be some tests to check battery drain.

Because here I'm showing general improvement of GPS system (and that involves better NearBy scope working)
