Samsung mob. Android 11. App when biking. Southwest coast of Portugal, close to Eurovelo 1 route.
Position arrow may take minutes before each update. It freeze. Sometimes the arrow jumps miles away. And stays there. Also the arrow points in opposite direction than I bike and the route is set up. All this happens all the time and makes the app useless.
When I quit / stop the app. And than restarts, the arrow usually locate correctly.
However the app always know where I am. That I can see at the info field at bottom of the screen.
The first time I used the app, 3 days after download it the first time. It worked perfect for the whole day. After that it has behaved as described.

I am at a bit of a loss with this one! It’s not something I’ve seen before but then Android phones are unpredictable - Samsung ones doubly so. I will continue to look into it.
Lars, a few things that may be worth considering...
Do you have any other mapping apps that you can use to test the GPS accuracy of your phone?
Sometimes Airplane mode (no internet connection) can affect the accuracy of GPS. Are you using the app in online or offline mode?
Storms can affect the GPS.
Are any other apps running at the same time? Too many apps can slow the system down.
Sometimes, depending on settings, features such as 'battery saving' can impact on the performance of individual apps.
Good luck!
Tested GPS accuracy with Google Map, Eurovelo 1 maps, Navionics boat map used in my sailboat 😊. All perfect.
Only online modus. No Airplane mode.
No storms. Usually nice weather.
I have powered down the mobile. Than power up. ONLY started Cycle.travel. Same problem.
No battery saving.
I have switched off / on GPS both before start up of cycle. And when running.
I have said initially that cycle always know exact where I am located. That I conclude out of the info it provides at bottom of the screen. Based on that I conclude that cycle reads the GPS signals correctly ? Than we sit back with the updating position of the arraw. Also note that the arrow is pointing in the opposite direction than the route e.g SouthNorth when it should be NorthSoth.
