Help us Understand?
Hello, me and my partner are having problems using Google locations, we use Google maps to see eachothers location just in case, but lately we have been encountering an issue where she will check the map and my icon will show me as "offline" even though I have not touched my app at all.
my location services on my phone have always been set to "always on", my Google map location is also set to "always on", my android phone has "improved accuracy" turned on, and I dont use any sort of "battery saver" settings on my phone and I have not touched these settings in a very long time.
I know that there are many many reasons that GPS can be inaccurate or have bugs but are there any experts around here who can point me to some form of educational resources that we can use to better understand these things and so that I'm not being looked at with such suspicion?
I want her to feel secure in knowing that sometimes there really is just something in the air like a storm cloud or SOMETHING that is affecting the satellite data.
We have also tried life360 but she stopped using it because she claimed that it was also innacurate, as I would leave home for work in the morning I tried to explain that my phone suddenly disconnecting from wifi and needing to reconnect to cell data before reestablishing a GPS connection can make the map look weird for the start of my drive data but alas...
If someone could please help me to find some videos, articles, something semi-official, maybe even short-form content that can help us to understand this better and not be so afraid all the time. Thanks all.
