my Xperia: wrong location found

[Fabio891]

Hello,

the "search" function on my Xperia application doesn't show the exact location of my phone. The difference between the real and the found is about 1,5 km.

It's possible to improve the accurancy of this app?

thank you

Just tried and got same problem! They need to improve the exact location of devices or else that it's useless

Hi and welcome to the community!

Is the location mode under Settings -> Location set to high accuracy in your phone? If you haven't tested it already, try searching for the phone when the phone has free sight to the sky.

Am in Kenya and yet my GPS is reading somewhere in Germany. Any assistance?

Thanks @uliwooly. It has worked and it's now showing the right place.
