Hi there, we included tracking in our project and mostly it works fine. In some cases, it jumps to one or several points that are located within the next town and back leading to are pattern that looks woven. Another tracking app that runs parallel did work normal, thus, it is not a problem with th…

One of the devices is a Samsung S20 5G, the other one a Sony Xperia 10. With my Samsung TAB 11 I had no problems, so far.

We are still struggeling with this issue. A collegue reports: “The location is displayed correctly, but when I tap ‘Start Tracking’, the point jumps to a town several kilometers to the north. Then it jumps back to my correct location and draws a kilometer-long line. If I delete the track and try aga…

We are aware of this behavior when the Android mock location is used. Are you using an external GNSS antenna and the Android mock location?

We are using only internal antennas and no mock location (as far as I know). Just normal usage.

What about the GPS options “WLAN” and “cellphone net” (to improve the accuracy) – could these cause the trouble?

Does turning on the accuracy restriction mode help with this? QField Settings > Position You could set a bad accuracy threshold to 10 meters or something, so it allows for your ‘normal’ accuracy of the internal device but should not save vertices beyond that? Or are these points not considered as …

Hola, según entiendo estás utilizando una capa para grabar tu trayectoria. Yo tengo configurados mis proyectos para lo mismo y lo que me ha funcionado es en la configuración del seguimiento antes de iniciar es activar la opción “Salvaguarda de distancia errónea”

This behaviour happens a lot. The following settings help to reduce it, but it does not eliminate it. Settings > Location > Location services > Location accuracy > turn off Settings > Location > Location services > Scan for Wifi > turn off Settings > Location > Location services > Scan for Bluet…

Greetings. While I cannot replicate locally, it occurred to me what might be going on here is interference between satellite positions and other sources that might kick in (eg wifi scanning derived positioning) I created a PR where we disable non-satellite sources for the internal GNSS device. Cou…
