Unreliable location (North Pole)

[luc-ass]

Describe the bug The API seems to return unreliable location data under some circumstances. In my case it reports ~~lat 0, long 0~~ latitude: 134.217726, longitude: -161.061275 if I park my car (Superb 3V) in one specific underground garage. This causes to look really funny on the map card.

Is this working in MySkoda app?* Location history is not visible within the app

Latest working release As far as I know, this was always the case

Debug logs If applicable, add debug logs. See README on how to enable debug logs with response debugging.

Installation:

• Home Assistant variant: hass.io 11.1 with Home Assistant (2023.11.1) Supervisor (2023.10.1)
• Python version: not sure how to find that
• Python library versions: not sure how to find that

Additional context This is what it looks like:

Perhaps implausible data can be ignored to improve on this? If you let me know where to look for the location processing, I'd happily create a pull request.

You seem to be able to reproduce this quite easily. Can you see what the state of the device tracker for your car is?

I'll check on it when doing groceries next week. Anything else that should be logged?

Okay, I caught it:

source_type: gps
latitude: 134.217726
longitude: -161.061275
gps_accuracy: 0
model: Škoda Superb Combi Style/2017-11-10
entity_picture: https://ip-modcwp.azureedge.net/xxxxxxxxxxxxx_front1080.png
assumed_state: true
icon: si:skoda
friendly_name: Skoda Superb Position

Looks like gps_accuracy: 0 is a good indicator on whether to use the information or discard it.

Thanks a lot! This will make it easier to fix this 👍
