That’s because the satellites need to triangulate your position, and the signals can’t penetrate your house walls properly.

It just takes more time to hone in on your location if you are at home. The exact app makes no difference.

If you were to use the location value from Google Maps component, you’d get the same speed. The GPS component is slightly slower possibly because it doesn’t use Google as the provider (need a citation, I’m probably wrong on this one.)

Google tracks you constantly if you have Google Services Framework on your phone. This makes it easier to zero in on your location when using Google Maps.
