A deep dive look into tracker-server.log for client id 90774078 clearly shows the real time updated location coordinates correctly.

But on the Traccar server map of the client id shows the incorrect outdated old location.

This clearly shows the bugs is in Traccar server itself.

To note my Traccar server "6.12.2" and Traccar client is the latest version "v9.7.17".

After many testing of various Traccar client. The (High) location accuracy have numerous times stop real time update.

Or suddenly intermittently stop sending real time location since it is relying on Google API Physical Location function on our phone OS.

I had to revert to (Highest) location accuracy for real time updates with precise location tracking.

Also to note that I do not apply any filter at all to avoid any issues of stuck location updates at Traccar server traccar.xml config file settings.

Now I wish to change the Traccar client settings for Location Accuracy from High to Highest via Custom Command remotely from Traccar server is not possible at this latest version. How there is a feature to acvomodate this in future version release.
