Springing back to real location

[rah913]

Hi all,

First, I really have to say that I love the work that kahopoon did with this. It's fantastic and really does work well. I'm not a programmer or developer and it took me most of the night to figure this out but after reading the instructions and using some logic, I was able to get it all to work. I do have one little problem though: after a little while, I'll rubber band back to my real world location.

After getting it set up last night I decided to do a couple of test runs. I went down my neighborhood and towards the main street where I live. Crossed it and went over to the local high school, always tapping slowly to simulate walking (just in case). I had a good 15-20 minutes over by my old high school collecting from the multiple pokestops there and had no issues capturing Pokemons. After the 15-20 minutes, I suddenly get snapped back to my real location. I would shut it down at that point and wait a while before trying again.

Second attempt was similar but this time I went north towards a nearby park and after about 10 or 15 minutes, it happened again - I snapped back to my real location. No error messages and console was still reporting the lat/long from the park as I moved through it on the controller but on my phone, it wasn't receiving it.

Any idea what could be happening? Does the blank app on the gaming device time out or is there a setting I'm not turning on/off so that my gps doesn't re-assert itself?

Same issue.... Will bounce back to real location. No error messages.

So last night I tried playing again with this. I played for a solid two hours just going up and down the coast of my hometown without any issues. What I ended up doing prior to starting was going through my settings to see if there was anything that could possibly affect it. Since I was on wifi, I turned off cellular data and also wifi calling, in case it could use either one to triangulate a new gps location. It seems to have done the trick for me.

I did notice that the one time that I tapped onto a gym to check it out, I got transported back to my home location. I exited the app and then restarted and I was back in the coast location I had spent the night.
