Find an alternative geolocation package that does not require internet connection and obtains GPS information directly from the device. A possible one is react-native-geolocation-service. The current React Native Geolocation package times out when the device is offline. A possible solution to this is switching to Google Play Services’ new FusedLocationProviderClient API

Another package that can be used is react-native-geolocation-offline-and-airplanemode (source)
