Is anyone having an issue with the driving icon lagging behind your actual location? I seem to be about 100 ft past the street and the driving icon is just get there.

I just tried the new version and it's less than the previous version but still about 100 ft off. I'm well past the street when the icon is just before the street. -

@Rob-Verhoeff I have the Samsung Galaxy Fold3 and I'm connected to my 2022 Jeep Cherokee via android auto. I did more testing today and found at low speeds, 10-30mph, the icon tracked pretty well but as I speed up to 40-60 mph, the icon starts falling behind. At 40mph is about 100 ft behind and at 60mph it about 200+ft behind. It seems to get further behind the faster I go.

@Bob-Petit Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, some Android users are indeed still experiencing an issue with the route arrow lagging behind. Efforts are being made behind the scenes to address it!

Had the same issue with my S22 Ultra. Apparently Samsung has GPS issues. Also my Calimoto app didn't have the right GPS position and I got this answer:
- First of all, check whether "High accuracy" is activated in your smartphone's GPS settings.
Deactivate the energy-saving mode and the performance optimization in your device, as this severely limits the GPS sensors. - Make sure that you have set the correct time zone: Open your device's settings and select "Date and time" and make sure that "Autom. Date / Time" and "Autom. Time Zone" is selected. If your smartphone is set to the wrong time zone, it could mean that it takes longer to find the GPS signal.
- Record activity for 10 minutes and let the calimoto app search for a signal outside under the clear sky. Keep your phone entirely still while doing this. If that doesn't work, try other activity recording apps, but not apps like Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps. These apps use cell towers to determine your location and nearby streets and paths, making it seem like your location is working fine. Besides, Google Maps is firmly integrated into Android and therefore has different authorizations than calimoto. calimoto only uses GPS signals to determine the location. This is why calimoto can also have difficulties determining your location while other navigation apps work correctly.
- If these tips do not help you, download the "GPSfix" app, for example, and set the GPS timeout to one minute.
That last app GPS fix) saved my butt. After some research I also found this article:

Hope this helps for you

@Doug-Robinson today I had a lot of trouble with the location indicator. It looked like was in a helicopter it switched from left to right and from top to bottom but not on the route. GPS in maps worked fine. I was riding as last and the app had to do lots of recalculating.
