What causes location jitters: The "Office Site Jump"

Notes
Jitter is usually a "spike" that disappears quickly.

Scenario: A worker is inside "The Yard" or job site. They are sitting at a desk or inside a building.

  • The Cause: The phone loses its GPS satellite lock for a split second and switches to a nearby WiFi router or Cell Tower.

  • The Result: The OS (iOS/Android) suddenly reports a location 200 meters away with an accuracy of 100m. Because this new point is technically outside your 250m geofence radius, the SDK fires an EXIT event.

  • The Jitter: 30 seconds later, the GPS lock returns, and the device "jumps" back to the yad or job site.
