A zigzagged or jumping trip path is usually caused by inaccurate GPS data from the phone.
This can happen due to several reasons, such as:
- Weak GPS signal
- Temporary satellite connection issues
- Phone GPS hardware limitations
- App background restrictions or phone settings
- Areas with tall buildings, tunnels, parking garages, or poor network/GPS coverage
In most cases, phones identify inaccurate GPS points, and apps like OtoZen can ignore that data. However, sometimes the phone may send inaccurate GPS data as if it is correct, which can make the trip path appear zigzagged or jump between locations.
This issue is not specific to OtoZen. Any app that depends on GPS for live location sharing or trip tracking may experience this occasionally.
We continuously work to improve how OtoZen handles GPS data and reduce these location inaccuracies wherever possible.
Please report these issues to us when you notice them. Your feedback helps us improve the accuracy and reliability of the app.
