I am getting an exception with action "init variable location"
when I'm in places without GPS reception

Is it should be that way?

Hi,

That's correct. The action is configured to initialize the location using GPS so it will time out when no GPS location can be acquired after one minute.
You could either increase the duration of the timeout in the action or catch the exception and fetch the location using another method.
To do the latter, you can add another action Init Variable Location with a network provider, connect the first action with the new one, select the connection between the two and switch to Exception.
The second init-location-action will only be executed when the first one fails with an error.

Regards,
Martin
