POSSIBLE GPS ISSUES ON OLDER MOBILE PHONES
Posted on:
Dear members,
GMB Reps are receiving an increasing number of calls from members who are noticing issues across the all the operator platforms with inaccurate GPS issues.
In some cases these are leading to both warnings and incorrect deactivations from platforms.
The issue seems to be with devices giving inaccurate geo-location data to the operators.
We are advising in the first instance that members manually check that their devices are accurately sending correct data with no time lagging. You can do this by following a journey on Google maps or the Uber app and seeing if your device is following the route correctly.
If there seem to be issues we would advise contacting the relevant operator and speaking to your mobile phone provider for guidance.
Yours in union,
GMB National Reps & GMB National Officer
