Actual driving speed is WAY off

@Tony-13, Do you by any chance own a Ford?
I use Ford Sync3 and experienced very strange behaviours concerning the speed indication... Corjan pointed me to the Android Auto setting on the phone and asked me to disable the right on location services (for the Android Auto app). As contra-productive as that seems, the app falls back to its own location service, instead of that from your AA device. That, for me, solved my problem.@Con-Hennekens yes it is a Ford with SYNC 3. I will try that, thank you
-
@Con-Hennekens I have a Jeep Wrangler. The speed is wrong even without using Android Auto. It had been correct before the last update.
@Donald-LaRue, In that case I can only advise to submit a support ticket at https://www.myrouteapp.com/support

@Tony-13, I love to hear about it

Finallly checked. As suggested I turned off location permissions in the Android App. Now MRA displays the correct speed on my phone and on the Android App screen in my car. Thank you

The GPS information that Ford sends to the phone is really corrupted

@Corjan-Meijerink, seemingly yes. I don't mean to be overly critical (you know me
) but it is funny to see that MRA app and HERE WeGo (based on the same HERE SDK) are suffering from it, while other apps like gMaps and FlitsMeister seem not to suffer from it. There seems to be a link to the HERE SDK? -
I am also suffering from this bug.
Speed in app and with Android Auto is not correct, seems to be freezing at the speed that I drive when I opend the app.
Any chance that this bug is being solved?

@BJ, could well be but I really don't know. Corjan has just released a new public version, as far as I know it contains also an SDK update. Please try and let us know

I tried this morning. Unfortunately the actual speed is still not shown correctly.
Speed is toggling between 7 and 14 km/h, also when standing still...
Issue occurs in Android Auto, and in the app on my Samsung A36 telephone.

I had the exact same thing. I disabled the permission for location services on the Android Auto app in the Android Settings. That way the MRA app falls back to using the phones GPS data, that solved it for me. -
Correct. When I disconnect my phone from Android Auto the actual speed is showing correctly on my phone in MRA.
I also issued a ticket at MRA today, and their advise is to disable location access for Android Auto on my phone. Seems to be an issue with Ford automobiles.
Bit strange though, Google Maps and TomTom both work fine with location access for AA enabled.

@BJ, yes that is strange. Obviously there is a workaround, and some big 1000+ developer teams found it.
