GPS locations on startup or with "Find my location" sometimes wrong when using Radar+

derflop

Hello, this is something that literally bugs me for many months, maybe years now and I wanted to try and make an new effort to enable you to get to the bottom of the problem by providing some screenshots and videos. We're developers ourselves, so I can imagine it's quite tricky to debug.

As described in the old topic mentioned above, sometimes GPS location is randomly off by some or even hundreds of kilometers. It seems connected to the Radar+ overlay, so far I have not been able to reproduce in weather radar. Also it seems the location is only off to the south. I use the current app and iOS version on iPhone 12 Pro and I have exact GPS location enabled for the app.

My correct location is in Munich, Germany, not near Achenkirch, Austria.
Please let me know if you need more info and I can try to provide it.

Thanks for taking a look at the following media:

@derflop Hi, this issue should be solved in our version 46, which is planned to be released for browser in a few weeks. Then apps will be included as well.
