Not sure what you mean, as far as maps go I am only using in ui_minimalist, this kid of card which says "Home" or "Away" and when I click on the card is shows me a little map of the position:

hours_to_show: on the map card, gives you a visual history of gps points. Helps identify erroneous GPS points.
I have this setup as a admin only full panel dashboard.

My wife left half an our ago.
Router is correct. GPS stays at home.
What can I do?
I can't just tell my wife, “You have to open the app regularly.”
I just don't get it.
The settings on her phone are not correct. The HA App has to have the ability to see location at all times, not just when it is open. Note on the iphone if you have that setting done correctly, and this is very annoying, it will ask you from tme to time "are you sure you want to kjeep this setting" and if you are not careful and just agree with what the phone is asking you it will change that back to giving the app access only when it is in use, or not at all. Then you have to go back and change it. Or better yet, tell whoever the phone user is, they have to always answer that question properly when it keeps popppling back up again. Very annoying.That problam does not exist on android.

It’s driving me mad.
I’ve checked all the settings on my wife’s mobile again.
And this morning it happened again: she left the house and the GPS tracking outside isn’t working.
What’s wrong here?
Surely someone must know why this mobile (the GPS) isn’t working properly.

I honestly think it is a Home Assistant Companion App issue.
Just recently I have had a few issues with the HA App geocoded location showing a different location to what Google Maps was showing.
You have checked all battery optimisations are turned off for the HA App?
Does she have an Android phone?
What is your update frequency for your location sensors?
What is your minimum acuracy?
Is "update with location sensors " active for geocoded location?
Is "include in sensor update" active for single accurate location?

Can you please share a screenshot of the settings OUTSIDE the companion app? Settings -> Apps -> Home Assistant -> Location
Can you also share a screenshot of her settings within the app.
Settings -> Companion app -> Location

I verified again everything. And the settings are the same as on my phone.
We just drove home together. Erikas mobile updated only when we were at home.
Mine is updatin much more often. But why?

That doesn't look like an iPhone... Sorry, can't help with andriod settings. For some reason I thought you said iPhone.
Can you please share your configuration for that map card you have displayed? Maybe there's a different approach. Please do not alter the configuration of that card, show it as-is.

Ok, thanks for that. Can you please go to her person in Settings -> People -> Then click on her person. Scroll down to the bottom and take a screenshot of each entity expanded. You have to click on the arrow like this:
