Well very strange you should get much better gps than that.

Have you another device to try Lazzarillo on.?

Hi John

An old Vodafone Smart 7 I think  it might be on Android 6 or 7?

    Hi Steve and David

    I get the same 500 metre error even in my home garden It still
    gives that in correct address However,  if I set my actual house
    as a Favourite, then it will guide me home. I did report it to the
    devs but got no answer.

        It also could be that he’s doing it indoors, which is not
        great for GPS anyway.

        As you probably know, there is something called satellite
        drift which can cause variations in pinpointing a location.

        I also live at 77, and have been given location from 70 to 92,
        along with some in two close intersecting roads.

        What I find particularly curious is that about 8 weeks ago, I
        put our house name onto the gate onto the road, and within two
        weeks when Siri was asked “where am I”, she gave me the house
        name for the first time.

        Where was that data sourced?

        In the case of Andrew’s issue, it may be buildings distorting
        the wave pattern, in particular if they have steel in their
        structure.

        Or it may be purely that the original data was inputted
        incorrectly.

        Hi,

        Well I live at house number 77 and it mostly gives me that,
        but occasionally gives me 79, but it doesn’t get any worst
        than that.

        My curiosity is peaked though, I will take a look at Moovit.

        Hi Steve

        Lazerillo constantly gives my home location as an address 500
        metres away, when I stand at my front door - very strange?

            No, it doesn’t. But its routing, which is its primary
            thing, is much better.

            For example, it has built in walking routing, which is
            better than Moovit, and it also has the ability to use
            Google Maps or Waze to determine the route, if you are in
            a vehicle.  It can even book an Uber for you from your
            current location.

            Having said this, it’s a couple of years since I tried
            Moovit, but I’d find it  hard to beat Lazarillo nowadays
            for actual GPS routing.

            Hi Steve.

            I was commenting on your remark that Lazarillo was the GPS
            app you would choose over Moovit. I asked you whether
            Lazerillo provided realtime public transit information
            like Moovit does?  Thanks.
