- johannes1234321 2y agoWell, for some brands they truncated the GPS info. There is some likeliness that they misconfigured a branch of their software by mistake and a fix is to set the flag they already got (and then ensuring to keep the flag right on a permanent base ...)
- ninalanyon 2y agoIf it is something required ny law it doesn't need a flag. Just remove the condition altogether.
- netsharc 2y agoTechnically they were truncated to 6 decimal digits, giving a 10cm location precision... ;)
