========================================

Hi
when using my phone as a gps tracker i notice that the gps is often behaving very inaccurate for instance in the picture below is was driving the bycicle on the right side off the road and removed my sweater at the red X before continuing my path. The gps said i crossed the road went way offroad and then came back. I also noticed the same behavior when walking around. It tells me im zigzagging accross the street etc. I made sure precise location is on, the apps can run in the background etc but to no avail. I am thinking this is a hardware issue. Or are any other people experiencing the same result?

When i was on a trip in Barcelona i was testing it extensively, i am just walking on one side of the street instead it shows this zig zag nonsense

Also had gps issue wile driving in the car until i realised, that carholder's clip slightly toches the power button. Little pull up of the phone in the holder solved the problem. Hope it can help some of you

I did not clarify the Pixel 5 issue further, before but the problems i had with the fingerprint sensor are common Pixel 5 errors ( a fix is to put tape over the sensor...) . Google phones are utter garbage, just look for all the problems the pixel 6 has. It is a modern trend these days to just ship an unfinished product and then trying to get things fixed with software updates...
@Mattias_ASUS please give an update on this, before you stated it was an active issue that had been discussed with the dev team. There must have been some verdict...
