How do I stop the current location from rubberbanding/teleporting back and forth to my original location?
On some devices/Android versions this more prominent. To help reduce this you can try some or all of the below:
- As of February 2018, Google Play Services has a new update which causes random jumping. One thing you can try is to clear the Google Play Services cache and uninstall any updates. Also try clearing the app cache of the app you are trying to test. You can also try denying location permissions (or all permissions if that works for you) to the Google Play Services app.
- Try one of the GPS Jump fix options that are visible on the Home screen.
- Try and tweak the Process Interval in Settings. (This is advanced so be avoid if you do not know what you are doing).
- Alternatively, use the app indoors where you have a low gps signal.
- Some things other users have tried is placing a tin foil on the back — in between the case and the phone to block the gps signal.
