Description

This issue happened to me, first time, the day of Turf Game Restart beginning of July 2018. My phone did shut down as the battery was drained (taking zones for several hours). Plugging in a powerbank to charge battery, reboot the phone and restarted the app. Now the GPS positioned me almost 6 km north west of my actual position. When I moved, the GPS stopped and then suddenly jumped a couple of meters (same direction as I) but still at this wrong position. I compaired with Google Maps, that showed me on the correct position I had a very intense issue with this the same week following when it first did occur, before understanding how to correct it. Effect of issue: First time this happen the GPS positioned me several kilometers in a faulty position. After that the issue (faulty position) is about between 2-10 meters, never at my actual position. When standing put in real life the GPS app position jumping around my actual position, but never on the spot I am at. It is as GPS trying to find my position without success. When moving in real life the effect of the issue is the opposite, as there is a "lagging" memory issue, The GPS stand put. Deactive and reactivate GPS in the app may move the position toward may actual postion but then stops. Not possible to correct the issue by: 1. Deactivate and Reactivate GPS in the Android OS on the phone 2. Deactivate and Reactivate the GPS in the Turfapp. 3. Exit Turfapp via end dialogue and reboot the phone.
