Why is the location inaccurate, or why can’t I find my child?

If the location is inaccurate or not displayed, consider the following factors:
Common causes:
1). Weak GPS Signal
 Obstructions: Tall buildings, dense forests, or being indoors can block GPS signals.
 Weather Conditions: Heavy clouds or storms can interfere with GPS accuracy.
 Satellite Availability: If the watch cannot connect to enough satellites, the location may be inaccurate.
2). Interference
 Electromagnetic Interference: Devices like microwaves or other electronics can disrupt signals.
 Urban Canyons: In cities, signals can bounce off buildings, causing inaccuracies.
3). Wi-Fi or Cellular-Based Location
If the watch relies on Wi-Fi or cellular networks for location, the accuracy depends on the density and quality of nearby networks. Sparse or outdated network data can lead to errors.
4). Settings and Permissions
 Incorrect Settings: Location services may be turned off or set to low accuracy.
 App Permissions: If the app managing the watch doesn't have proper permissions, it may not access accurate location data.
5). Time Sync Issues
GPS relies on precise timing. If the watch's internal clock is not synchronized, it can affect location accuracy.
6). Environmental Factors
 Magnetic Interference: Nearby magnets or metal objects can disrupt location sensors.
 Geographic Features: Mountains, valleys, or large bodies of water can affect signal reception.
Tips to improve location accuracy:
 Ensure the watch has a clear view of the sky.
 Update the watch's firmware and apps.
 Check and adjust location settings.
 Restart the watch to reset its sensors.
 Avoid using the watch in areas with known signal interference.
