Traccar client tendency to stick to roads

Yoann 9 days ago

Hello

I'm doing some evaluation between Traccar Client and hardware trackers for flight competition management and I've seen an issue where in some situation Traccar Client will hallucinate and stick the path to a road instead of keeping the real GPS data:

Is there a way to configure the client (with JSON option for example) to disable this kind of "road assumption" behavior?

That's not Traccar Client. That's your phone. We don't do any location manipulations.

True and false in the same time.

What kind of activity type do you use to enable location tracking?

This is for iOS (this bug was seen on iOS) but I expect the same exist on iOS.

We use flutter_background_geolocation framework. We don't set it ourselves.

But from what I can tell, it uses default (other) value.
