Incorrect current location and geocoded location

See original GitHub issue

Home Assistant Android version: 1.11.0-215 Android version: 10 Phone model: Samsung S10e Home Assistant version: 0.112 Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Description of problem: I have been home all day but Home Assistant shows that I have visited 2 different places. It seams like it jums to a random place 30km away for a second and then jumps back immediately. Also geocoded location is fixed on the random place now, not my home address, where I have been all the time. At first I thought it might be GPS reporting incorrect location, but my google timeline doesn’t show those movements. Traceback (if applicable):

Well, my case is opposite. geocode sensor is updated regularly but device tracker is almost never updated (maybe 2 times a day)

(This solution to me seams more valid than users manually specifying bogus locations)

Yeah. It’s very hard to catch all such locations. And more then that, they seem to be slightly varying, not fixed coordinates. So a simple blacklist of locations is impossible.

Let’s move the discussion to the HA core feature request thread.
