    In MyRoute-App Mobile when tracking or just watching the actual route, the bike location Icon is roughly a centimetre left of the actual road.
    I'm in the UK using the Here map. But all the others seem off too.

      @Steve-Lynch You mention that you are biking. Could it be the road that is displayed is the actual main road for cars?
      You location seems to be accurate but the cycle path is simply not displayed by that map supplier.

      The MyRoute-app Outdoor map might show the bicycle path you are on! πŸ™‚

        Oh, @Corjan-Meijerink Corjan, you're probably not a biker. πŸ˜€ 😁
        Because motorcyclists usually call their vehicle a bike. πŸ™‚
        But I can't speak for Steve of course. Maybe he's on a bicycle.

        Gelukkig is Nederlands makkelijker want daar noemen we onze motorfiets vaak fiets. πŸ˜€ 😁

                @Jack-van-Tilburg @Steve-Lynch Hahahah, much appreciated. I enjoyed your remark. You should know how many support tickets I get from Dutch people asking this exact question and then it really does apply to a cycle bike πŸ˜‰

                @Steve-Lynch Sorry for the confusion. Strange to see your location being off. It is known that the actual location is a bit behind your current (like a short delay) but not that it has this much offset in a horizontal direction. You could try restarting your phone to get the GPS calibrated a bit. If you open Google Maps (or another one) do you see the same offset? To be honest, Google Maps does some smart stuff to try to position you on the correct road even if the GPS is off. They do however give a warning that the GPS is inaccurate (if that is the case) and allow you to recalibrate.

                    I will try again on Tuesday with MyRoute-App Mobile when I ride my motorbike to work.

                    @Jack-van-Tilburg, Corjan is a biker too, I think he has a Triumph Tiger, I'm on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro in Khaki Green.

                      @Steve-Lynch probably good to check if other apps (Google Maps/Apple Maps) show the same location. It's always possible for GPS-coordinates to be off a little bit, depending on signal reception.

                            Regarding the Tracking, I get it now.
                            On MyRoute-App Mobile the roads displayed are very thin compared to actual size of the road.

                            You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.
