What factors can affect GPS accuracy for location-based attendance?

Created by Product Content Team, Modified on Thu, 6 Nov at 11:34 AM by Product Content Team

GPS accuracy can be affected by several factors:

  • Weak or blocked signals from being indoors, in dense urban areas ("urban canyons"), or near obstructions like mountains.

  • Incorrect device settings, such as disabled location services, low battery mode, or the location mode being set to "Battery saving" instead of "High accuracy."

  • Software and app issues, like an outdated app version, a corrupted app cache, or temporary glitches.

  • Environmental factors, like electromagnetic interference.

  • Hardware malfunctions with the device's GPS receiver itself.
