    This is all very interesting indeed!
    My testing device for Android has no other apps installed that use location services - only MRA.
    My positioning is spot on like with iOS or your observation with another app running.

    We will definitely use these findings to further investigate 🙂

      Hi @StefanHummelink @Stuart-Greer I have been using Flitsmeister in the background previously when running the MRA app on Android and I thought I would check your observations about improved position and less lag. I was running the iOS version alongside on CatPlay to compare and it does appear to significantly improve the lag issue. Whereas I had previously observed about a 4 second lag, the location appears to be spot on and the same compared with iOS when Flitsmeister is running in the background.

      Useful to get @Corjan-Meijerink view on this.

      @Dave-J-0 Oh nice you also came along to check upon this! Thanks! This surely helps 😃

      I'm happy to see the observations by you are identical. That makes two of us and it means I am not a loner hahah!

          @Stuart-Greer Great, I am very curious!

          If you're phone supports split screen, you could really run the apps in parallel. Perhaps make a screen recording to see whether the track line in relation to the cursor changes. In my case I can observe a very distinct change when it comes to the track line relative to the cursor. 😃

          @StefanHummelink hi Stephan, as per your suggestion I ran both apps in split screen this morning on a run into Glasgow City centre and it was perfect. I had it zoomed in to the max and it was as good as any sat nav.
          Thanks for your help

              @StefanHummelink @Stuart-Greer Just done some more testing this morning and you really notice the difference and lag (especially when turning) after Flitsmeister running in the background is closed. Turned Flitsmeister off and on multiple times during a route to double check what we are seeing. Really strange but with Flitsmeister on in the background, the position is spot on and direction changes quick.

                                    The position error is still there and I calculated that the map lags my actual position by between 100 and 120m. I missed a few turnings as a result of this.

                                    @Stuart-Greer

                                    For comparison of different Samsung Phones regarding the position lag.

                                    The video below shows my Galaxy S21+ 5G.
                                    Build is 4.0.0, I will record the same video when 4.0.1 is available for Android.

                                    Excuse the wind noise from the GoPro as I wanted to get some Tiger loveliness in the Audio.

                                    The syncing of the GoPro and the S21+ inbuilt Screen Recording was synced as best I could at the first turn for the Screen Recording and the GoPro.

                                    Android 13
                                    Screen Brightness 50%
                                    OneUI 5.1
                                    Power Source 2.1 Amp Dual Port Din (Only one port ever used)
                                    Quad Lock Wireless and Dampener mounted on a 1” Ball so I can easily remove it when out and about and put it in the Back Box.
                                    I never login to the Samsung Account on my Android Phones and avoid Bixby at all costs.

                                      The video below shows my Galaxy S21+ 5G.
                                      Build is 4.0.0, I will record the same video when 4.0.1 is available for Android.

                                      Excuse the wind noise from the GoPro as I wanted to get some Tiger loveliness in the Audio.

                                      The syncing of the GoPro and the S21+ inbuilt Screen Recording was synced as best I could at the first turn for the Screen Recording and the GoPro.

                                          @Lynchy67 Nice run and your GPS is spot on. Mine is only like that with Flismeister running in the background. 🤣 Nice bike as well.
