Turf Version
Other version (please tell us!)
Steps to reproduce
Start Turf app (it says 2.1.65).
Move to a zone.
Start GPS (now after entering the zone).
Expect to start taking the zone.
Description
Observed:
1. The avatar will show up near but outside the zone (not in a location where I've been). Turn GPS off/on, avatar still outside, possibly in a slightly new position. After repeating this a few times the avatar shows up in the zone and starts taking it, but immediately jumps outside. The same happens if turning GPS off/on again. It may take a couple of minutes from first GPS on until the position is correct and the zone can be taken. Then it is usually correct and stable during the whole session, at least until I turn GPS off/on again. This behavior has been seen almost every session since June 2025.
2. Today the behavior changed in the way that when the GPS had stabilized, the zone could not be taken anyway, instead got "Waiting for position".
Note that other apps, like Min Karta, at the same time shows a correct position while Turf is not.
Expected:
Turf immediately showing correct position.
In case 2.1.65 is a beta, there is no option in Google Play to leave beta, just to join. I have never opted in to betas.
