Hello, just to check on this new Pixel 7A,
Wondering if the performance for GPS connectivity on the Google Maps is good?

I had a bad experience with Pixel 4a, it is always showing/saying GPS signal lost when I am driving.
Tried multiple ways from the net to improve the signal but no avail.

Most, if not all, have not yet gotten their hands on the p7a

Sounds to me that all those activities which you mentioned can also be done with a more budgeted phone in 2023 which are already more powerful than 3xl. IMO 7a pricing is too steep. If you really want to spend, I think it will be better to get the pixel 7 instead.
may i ask why take 7 instead of 7a? 7a is cheaper than 7, and i compare and see, like not that worth paying 250 more for 7 compare to 7a?

from what i see, it's only better camera? which i dont really take photo/video often. nor i really need wireless charging. 128gb is more than enough for me too
