location provider ping-pong?
- App build number: 2.4.12 installed from Google Play (would much prefer F-Droid!)
- Android version: Android 14, degoogled version of AOSP, CalyxOS to be specific
- Device: Pixel 7
I'm having an issue with what I would describe as location provider ping-pong. I have GPS enabled and I believe that in this location the wifi hotspot mapping is inaccurate. The result is that the device seems to jump back and forth between the locations. Here's a trace and notice how it periodically bounces between 32.499,-100.818 (GPS) and 32.50259,-100.81661 (presumably wifi/hotspot location mapping). (Note that I did change the integer part of the location for obfuscation.)
Obviously, the fact that the hotspot location is incorrect isn't owntracks fault, however, this seems like a fairly generic problem and it would be nice for owntracks to filter the updates and not use the less accurate hotspot location when it is getting GPS updates. Maybe this is not possible, I'm not that intimately familiar with the Android API.

This is how it looks like on the map:
