Hey all, has anyone else experienced a massive gps drift in certain areas where you used to get a small one? My office used to drift 0.1 km every 5 ish minutes. For the past 2 days I have been experiencing a hit of like 1.3-2.1 km over a 3 minute period before it stabilizes itself. Is this a thing now or am I just getting lucky?

The drift is due to satellite positioning. It could be a cloud over your office or poor signal to the satellites. Either or it will correct itself once you have a clear view of the sky

The server updates distance every 4 minutes and 10 seconds. If the drift from point A to point B crosses over this line by the server it will be registered. If you get speed warned it may be lessened or discounted. If it is over a certain amount it will also be thrown out.

In my apartment i get sometimes good drift and sometimes i barely get drift at all.
Also once my gps signal wasnt working at all and i was worried my phone is broken, well it was only one day and next day everything was back to normal.
I think gps signal just varies day by day.

At the local mall my GPS teleports me back and forth between there and Toronto. Over 100km away. Not exactly drift but definitely massive. I wonder if I'll ever get a soft ban when it happens

I was just about to ask the same. Trying to fight a gym from my office, it bails me out all the time due to the drift. In my case the circle used to be up to 10 meters and not often. Now it is more like up to 30 meters and several times a minute.
It seems to be the case since mid/late May.

I experience drift most often in buildings over 5 floors.
