Actual driving speed is WAY off

[Con Hennekens]

@BJ said in Actual driving speed is WAY off:

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.

Am I correct when I assume that it happens on the phone ONLY when connected to Android Auto in your Ford?
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.
