For some reason, my car shows on the Lucid app as being a few miles north of where it actually is. It shows as being in a place where I have not been, as I just recently returned to AZ, and it really seems to be *exactly* north. Interestingly, there is a little yellowish dot in the place where the car really is, which is also my set 'home' location. Perhaps the app has always deliberately showed that 'home' dot, but I just never noticed it with the car icon on top. Does anyone know if there is a GPS reset process? BTW, I am not on the latest OTA release, so it's not that. Thanks!

The yellow dot is just your phone GPS; aka where you are. Always been there. Helpful for walking to the car.

Your car’s GPS seems broken. Try a reset, otherwise call service.

Thanks, @borski! You know... a logo reset didn't even occur to me. I must be getting senile! I'll try that tomorrow when I'll be taking the car up where there is a GPS signal.

Did that reset help?

Have same gps location issue some times. When starting the car, it’ll put its location literally 100+ miles away. Once start driving around it’ll re-center eventually but that’s not a good solution.

Oddly enough, the 100+ mile location is the same every time it does happen. Anyone know why &/or a fix?

The logo reset didn't help, but I have concluded that my issue is with a lost GPS signal in my parking garage. I have noticed that the GPS knows exactly where it is as I drive into the garage, and it quickly figures out where it is as I exit the garage. It seems to only be confused when it's down there, and I can live with that. In my case, the lost GPS signal does not always show the same exact (albeit wrong) location.

Sounds like your garage is lined in lead

Maybe, although I am two levels below grade. Clark Kent has the three spaces next to me, so it is apparently both a GPS and Kryptonite free zone. AT&T cellular free to boot!
