BV6000 GPS is inaccurate

My 5-6 months old BV6000 is having inaccurate GPS. All accurary modes with gps on location accurary work incorrectly. My starting position is usually about 2km away from home everytime. I have mobile application for bying gas automatically from the gas meter when I am in correct position. Never succeeded. My wifes BV7000 Pro work nicely with that app. Last time it was saying first that I have 96km to gas meter and then it corrected after waiting to almost there but it always is 100m away. Thus gas meter is not selling. Old ways work fortunately.

I have a hobby with my dog, Forest trail. With 100m accuracy in making of trail to somebody and then working as guide for them is quite hard if accuracy of trail is between 200m. Of course there are hidden markings which can followed but accurate gps keeps you on trail quite well and physical markings are for checking actual route.

I have latest BV6000_Blackview_V01_20170517 on my phone. Updated with OTA as normally. Is there something broken or is software not doing thing correctly? Position is not updated correctly.

Have you sez GPS to high accuracy? You could also try Apps like "GPS status and toolbox" for test out/improve your GPS connection.

In 20170517 there is a problem that submitted GPS time is not correct in some areas. Maybe your App is sensitive for this. (We are investigate this time-problem and hope to fix it soon).

I have set accuracy for high and tested pure gps, too. I found that "GPS status and toolbox" software myself and find out it very useful. That time problem may have side effects and I shall wait for a fix that. I hope you find out what is wrong with that.

Hi,

I do have the same problem too. (Flashed ROM V01_20170517)
It's irritating me especially when I try to refuel my car at the tank, which is supporting mobile fueling. (S-mobile)

An other application is very popular Finnish lottery program which includes a step competition game.
I cant use it because it doesn't calculate steps not at all and 'High accuracy' doesn't work. Situation point seems to move accordig my moves but i will get information 'You are too far from the destination point though I'm very close.

NOTE Google's FIT SEEMS to calculate steeps and distance ok.
