My position stuck on the map

Bug Reports

The ‘my position’ place is set along a highway, and won't budge. So all routes are now planned from this place instead of where I actually am. If I press the little goal button it will highlight the place where I am, but when it starts a route it always takes this arbitrarily placed spot along the motorway.

It's not a GPS problem as Google maps works fine. I've tried shutting down the app, restarting my phone, nothing helps.

Where does this happen?

    This confused me at first as well. ABRP plans from the last location when you were in the car, i.e., navigating with live data enabled.

    You can (sometimes?) change this. When you create a plan, you put your destination, and then where it says “my location” there’s usually a small icon in the right that you can use to toggle between where the app is and where the car is.

    Hi

    Do you allow ABRP to see your location?

      Yes because if I hit the little target symbol, it shows where I am. But then the car symbol is still stuck on the motorway, miles away.

      Thanks for picking this up!!

        You have not been connected to live data for 5 days. Can you please unlink and link it again.
