Was driving home today from a trip up north and decided to check my journey on Google's location history after I got back. Phone is a Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. The locations mostly correct apart from one obvious wild location - which is clearly impossible. Any ideas what could have happened?

I have a major problem that I hope someone can help with. On my Google Maps feature under my Location History it shows a location that I was never at at any point, but when my wife happened to see that location she doesn't believe me that the GPS could be wrong and pinpoint that location if I was never there.  I was first wondering myself how could that could be possible if I was never there or my phone was never at that location that was 35 miles away from me and second is there any way I could prove the GPS being wrong? Can I contact Google Maps and can they give an official printout of that certain day and every location I was? I really need to prove my honesty to her and hope there is a way.

Possible Duplicate:          I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy 5 (model number GT-I5500) and I'm new to the android world.   I'm not satisfied with the performance of the GPS on my cell phone so I thought it would be interesting to use a custom ROM to see if it improves a bit.   Anyone knows of a ROM that was tested in this model?

I'm using Android 5.1. There is a bug in the Feed view with the loading indicator. The normal loading indicator still exists. Some more information: because my feed view is now bigger, I discovered the bug only in the last half of the page. The bug appears to be the load circle to load old data from the timeline. Normally it just works, but at the end of the timeline, it goes crazy.

Yesterday I've visited a restaurant. The restaurant had a beautiful garden and colorful plants. So I took several pictures there. Today, Google Maps sent me a notification and offered me to share those pictures as I've taken for that restaurant.  How does Google Maps know that I've taken pictures there? Does the app regularly check(while the app is running) my pictures and their location without my knowledge? If so, then Google Maps can also upload those pictures to somewhere without even asking me? So if I allow access to my photos for an app, does that mean the app can access my photos without showing a "BROWSE" or something like that and upload to somewhere? I though iOS API needs photos to be picked by user to be shared by an app. Otherwise any app that has proper access permissions can access to all of my photos and then may upload all of them to cloud, whithout my knowledge, right?  Edit: Ok, I'm having hard time to explain myself. I know if Google Maps has access permissions to photos, then it can access photos. That's not the issue here. The problem is that: My phone is locked and sitting on the table. Then I get a notification from Google Maps, asking to share the photos I've taken yesterday at the restaurant I've visited! Not only that, when I click the notification, Google Maps opens up with a view with already selected photos which all taken at the specified location. This is only possible if I opened the Google Maps app, after taking photos, which I did for getting back to home. The problem is, when I open the Google Maps or any other app that has access permission to photos, does this mean all those app can access all of my photos, any time(if app is running in foreground)? I thought apps need to call some iOS APIs to show me the thumbnails, then only the photos I've checked will be delivered to app. That is, I thought apps can only access the photos I've picked from the thumbnail view and the thumbnail view is mandatory and handled by iOS, just like passcode and touchID(apps can't read users' fingerprint or passcode, it's all handled by iOS).

Let's say I want to find a company in Ontario, Canada. Ok, I navigate to company pages and type ON, Canada to Where in search:        but there are no companies in there. So why if I type just Canada it finds companies in ontario; and if I type specific area (ON, CA)  it doesn't find anything ?

When searching for anything in Google, it keeps refreshing itself; or, rather, it keeps redirecting itself between the url variants https://www.google.hu/search?q=&lt;query&gt;&amp;cad=h and https://www.google.hu/#newwindow=1&amp;q=&lt;query&gt;. It just keeps ping-ponging between these, like in an old-fashioned redirect loop, except it never ends.  Needless to say, it's very annoying.  This is happening using Google Chrome 48.0.2564.71 beta 64 bit, on a Lubuntu installation, with 16 GB of memory (and no history of RAM troubles). Tried to install a stable version over it (though not --purge-ing the original, so with the same settings) and the same thing happened. No other pages show this behaviour.  Tried to clear browsing history, cookies and cache: it did help, but only for two searches, then the issue resurfaced. Things work fine in Incognito mode or when I'm not logged in to my Google account.  Looking around on the internet yielded  and variants, which describe a bug about Chrome keeping refreshing every page, which sounds similar, but isn't the same. 'Instant search' was alread disabled.  Now, I realize the problem would perhaps go away if I deleted every little piece of Chrome from the computer, but I'm not sure, and if possible I'd like to keep my various settings. Does anyone have an idea as to how to achieve that?

I've logged in and out, restarted my phone, updated, but the Pokemon footsteps indicating whats nearby wont show up.   The Pokemon still appear in the menu, but I cannot click to select them, nor does it show their distance from me with the footsteps.   What is going on?

When editing the "Your Sites" list on the Android app, the handles on the left are extremely difficult to drag, which is necessary to reorder them. They send to be further right than I would expect, basically centered on the left edge of my screen.  Unless I touch the perfect area I find that it ends up getting interpreted as sliding the left navigation drawer.  I am encountering this issue on a Droid MAXX with Android version 4.4.4.  Edit: here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

I gave Google my phone number to verify it, not knowing that it would change it, and now my phone number is completely different? What have I done, and how do I unverify it and change my phone number back?

What are the sources of excellent geo-location data as possessed by Google Maps ?   I am wondering that, even with large amount of volunteer work involved, why is OSM data not comparable to theirs in terms of quality ?

I'm looking at the coordinate differences between Google Maps and OSM. I'm a noob in the technicality behind GIS.   Having read:       I'm not sure whether is it because of #1 or #2 that causes the difference for the same coordinate that appear few hundred meters on the projected map.   And the differences between the data stored and the projected map when using lat/long.  Thanks!  EDIT  This may be more specific to China and the infamous offset issue.  Looking at the following coordinates: 31.230548,121.470965 for the  Shanghai Art Museum on Google Maps and ditu.   Having entered the same set of coordinate in OSM, it gives me the  is about 400M away in the NW direction.   I don't understand why a physical point in space is different on the projected maps? Is this specific to China?

According to Google maps there is road work on E50 from Prague to Brno. We are going to drive that route next week, how bad is it? Would it be better to take a different route? Google maps also show road work on road 12.  Anyone that has any information about the route Prague -> Brno.

I want to add GPS location to RAW photos (from my EOS7D) using location data from my iPhone 5. Aperture doesn't save the data I added unless I export the RAW files as JPEGs.  I've searched the site using "  edit EXIF" to no avail.

I am getting back in to EE after some time so please excuse my ignorance. I am looking for a way to detect pinpoint location outdoors to navigate a robot for a project with my sons. Is there a low cost way to triangulate or use GPS? I am looking for down to the inch precision. Also I do not care if I need to place some transmitters in different locations to give the device a reference.  This is for a robotic lawnmower. I have a 2 acre yard and my house is near the middle with several trees as obstacles.     Two of my three boys (14yrs, 11yrs, 5rys old) brought up the idea so the real goal of this project is to spend time with them and pique their interest in EE &amp; CE.  With that said cost is a factor but I do not care if we work on it for the next 2 years and spend a little along and along.  Here are my current plans    Include a Windows PC on board so I can code against the sensors.  Microsoft Connect on board to help with obstacle detection (reason for Windows PC) Include a USB GPS for general location Include camera just for the fun of it   In 2 years if I have some money in it that is okay but I do not want to start with a crazy expensive GPS.  Thanks to everyone who has help me!!!!

I've been recording tracks with GeoTracker on my Android. In places I have points that have altitudes higher than the peaks of a mountain. Like one altitude difference is 46 m.   How is it possible to get that big difference?  Is GPS on my Andorid that bad when it comes to accuracy or is it app itself, and why is this happening?   Edit  My device is:Sony xperia m4 aqua, I had High accuracy mode turn on. Specification for my phone: imei.info/phonedatabase/16958-sony-xperia-m4-aqua-e2303 (GPS: A-GPS/Glonass, GLONASS: No). I am also interested, based on this, how will I be able to figure out what is the accuracy of my measured position and altitude?

Is there any way to know when I flashed my last custom ROM?  Atleast a smart way to find the approximate date/time using some logs deep down in my android would be good.

I just deleted a file on my Nexus S that I really need back. (It was actually part of an app using a sqlite database that did a drop table when upgrading to a new version.)  Presumably I need to root the phone first (which I hear is easy on Nexus phones) but am I in a catch-22 here? Namely, does rooting the phone mean wiping/overwriting the partition where the data lives?  If not, what do you recommend for data recovery tools? Presumably the file was just unlinked and not actively overwritten (per usual when "deleting" a file) so technically the data must be there...
