How to fix location not updating in explorer app during activities?

I have regularly experienced an incorrect location in my explorer that won't update even when I press the location icon repeatedly. This often occurs during an activity like a hike on a mountain. It's really important to know where I am. I generally have to look at other apps to get my actual location.

I have:

Android phone: Samsung s24+
Latest OS
Garmin fenix 7 pro sapphire solar (I start the activity on this device)
Garmin inreach mini

I have both garmin devices on and connected in the explorer app.

Please help.

Make sure location permissions are set to “Allow all the time” for Explorer, disable battery optimization for the app, and make sure Bluetooth is stable during the hike. If the issue continues, try syncing one Garmin device at a time – the app can sometimes get confused by two simultaneous connections to the same source. Mayo Clinic portal
