@movq Ah, that's interesting! In my mind it even makes perfectly sense to just assume the last known position in lots of scenarios. The user might just be still (roughly) at the same location before the device was turned off. What alternative does the GPS tracking application have when a track should be recorded? Refusing to start the tracking until GPS signals are received isn't very user-friendly either. Usually, we waited until the location was figured out, so that the resulting GPX was somewhat reasonable. But sometimes we just began our tour while the device was still calculating the current position. And then we went supersonic. :-D
@lyse Ah, as I “learned” (more or less, I haven’t grasped it all yet) from the course I linked a few days ago, this appears to be a normal thing to do for GPS receivers. If they don’t assume some position, then they can’t solve a non-linear set of equations. (Something along these lines. I should probably get The Book on GPS. 🤔)
I would assume that more sophisticated receivers just do a better job at hiding this from the users these days. 🤔

@mckinley Ah. Did you try Ubuntu? That's also a Debian derivative and claims to be super user-friendly. At least in the past there was Kubuntu which shipped KDE instead of GNOME or Unity or whatever it is these days that Ubuntu defaults to. Personally, I use Debian.
@prologic Great, my congratulations! What does <700 mean?
@stigatle @movq Apart from some lovely shop time I was super lazy on the weekend. But today I walked 11.5 km in two hours. Unfortunately, it started to rain. I didn't look at the weather forecast, so I was underprepared. A hunter in a high seat told me to have a lamp on in the dark. It's now hunting season again.
Oh, home-made pizza is brilliant.
@movq Yeah, basically it took the last known point from whenever that was (some hours ago when the phone had GPS reception) and then jumped to the real location, once that was known. That's why we travelled highspeed. :-) On bad days the accuracy was off by at most 40-50 meters I'd say. Usually it was relatively close to reality, in the range of 2-15 meters.

Pretty sure its the average/p50 that's lower right? p90/p95 is your end tail. So if most of your latencies are sitting around ~15ms you'd expect your average to be lower, otherwise you'd have a much higher p90/p95 right? 🤔~

I suppose the p90/p50 would be higher. Right? I never remember which way that funnel goes.

@prologic in the article they say they have a p99 of 15ms reading historical data. Which is pretty nuts.. Aside from having close to 900TB of SSD...

@movq Yes but as you point out that data exists somewhere or map services such as Google Maps wouldn't be able to auto-complete your address and associate it with a GPS coordinate 😁

Could be an interesting project to build a custom GPS receiver based on an Arduino. No privacy concerns there.

@prologic I guess german people hate collecting data, especially “personal” data, and “surveillance” in general. My immediate response was: “Hell no, I don’t want someone to know my geo location from my address!” Then I realized that anyone can type my address into Google Maps or their car’s navigation system. 🤣
It’s probably similar to Google Streetview. There was a massive outcry when Google announced Streetview back in the day. Nobody wanted to have photos taken of their homes and there were all kinds of concerns (“burglaries everywhere!”). Even today, there are large gaps in Germany compared to the rest of Europe:
