GPS is not accurate, showing signs of pointing in the wrong direction and incorrect location when connected to Android Auto.

I looked for a solution and tried to find the root of the problem for a long time.

Finally found that Disabling Android auto's location permissions made this problem go away.

So I'd like to know why. And why is it like that?

You know Android auto has always been buggy since they ever released it so no wonder it still exist with bugs xd

Google has been trashing Android for years. This specific bug has been known and unfixed since forever.  Some map apps have a setting to use the more reliable legacy GPS system.

For those who have done this and still have frequent problems with

Gps signal loss(show No fix ) when using navigation apps, try doing the following:

1. Set in the developer category to Force full GNSS measurements

2.Factory reset and try solving again.

Nah, full measurements eats battery so you don't normally want it on.   This is a very old bug with Android Auto.
