My GPS location is way off from my current location on the map

If your car (the blue dot) is showing as not being on the road, your device's GPS accuracy may be off. 

For ANDROID try:

Turn on high-accuracy mode on your Android device.

Google Maps find your location with the most accurate blue dot, use high-accuracy mode.

1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Settings app .
2. Tap Location.
3. At the top, switch location on.
4. Tap Mode  High accuracy.

If still having the same problem then try:

1. Turn ON WiFi
2. Restart your device
3. Calibrate your phone (If your blue dot's beam is wide or pointing in the wrong direction, you’ll need to calibrate your compass.

Or try:

1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app .
2. Make a figure 8 until your compass is calibrated. You should only have to do this a few times.
3. The beam should become narrow and point in the right direction.

For iOS try: 

Toggle Your Location Services Off and On

1. Go to Settings.
2. Go to Privacy.
3. Head to Location Services, and make sure it is toggled to the On setting. Turn it to Off, then wait 15-20 seconds and activate it again. See if that has solved the problem.

Try Adjusting Airplane Mode to Fix the GPS

You can also sometimes get your GPS to work again by adjusting the Airplane Mode.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Enable Airplane Mode.
3. Leave it on for about 20 seconds, and then turn it back off. This can be useful in several different situations, not just when you’re having GPS problems. For example, if you see a “No Service” error or your Wi-Fi service is cutting in and out, you could try this as well.

Adjust the Date and Time

If your GPS is still not functioning as it should, then you can next try adjusting the date, time, and time zone. Most iPhone owners have more luck by using the Set Automatically feature.Go to Settings.

1. Hit Date and Time.
2. Choose the Set Automatically See if that fixes your GPS.

Try Turning Off LTE

You might also be able to fix the GPS by turning off LTE.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Cellular.
3. Hit Cellular Data Options.
4. Hit Voice and Data.
5. Select the 3G option.

You Can Try a Soft Reset

If your GPS is still not working, then a soft reset could be the answer. That fixes many different problems that you might encounter with your iPhone. Do not worry: none of the data will be erased if you try this option.

1. Press and then hold down the Wake/Sleep button along with the Power
2. Keep holding them down for at least 10 seconds.
3. When the Apple logo pops up on the screen, release both of the buttons. The phone should reset. It will take a few minutes for it to be functional again. Once it is, see if the GPS is working.
