This also isn't going to stop your carrier from knowing where your phone is. This is nearly as accurate, and most don't publish how long they hold the information for.

I had a similar error following a business trip on the west coast (correct) location history had my across country 1 hour later (incorrect) then west coast to a different city another hour later (incorrect) then back home another hour later (correct).

If only I got the mileage points for that!

Mine placed me in the airport at Riyadh Saudi Arabia for 3 hours last month during a time period I was in the air flying MNL-BKK on a PR A330. While there is no in flight map on PR's new A330's I pretty sure the route from MNL to BKK didnt cause us to linger for 3 hours in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Great, I'm probably on some NSA terror watch list now.:mad:

Did you get online during that flight? Perhaps PR uses a satellite communications system based in Riyadh, though that seems odd.

I got some random teleportations too when I was in Japan and Korea. It even showed me being in China a few times. I think it has to do with turning on and off my internet connections for long period of time during the day. I don't see any teleportation when I am in the states and kept my phone and internet connection on 24/7.

I'm noticing errors where it defaults to me being at home when I'm clearly not... for example, I left the house at ~7:30 this morning to drop off the kids at school, went to the Nissan dealership to get a PSF hose, went to the Goodwill to drop off some donations, went to O'Reily to get some PSF and Brake Fluids, and then returned home ~9:30am. At ~6-10 different times while I was out, the time-stamped location reverted to me being at home when I was not. I would think a lapse of service would revert to either no location or last known location, not the home location. Strange...

Do you have a tablet at home? I have a Nexus 7 at home and I think it is resulting in these same kinds of jumps for me. I assume theat when my phone loses location for whatever reason, it is recording my Nexus 7's location.

Maybe tomorrow I'll turn the Nexus 7 off and see what happens.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner...

Nice observation. I was wondering why my location kept skipping between Colorado Springs (I had spent the weekend at the Olympic Training Center) and my home quicker than any jet could ever travel.

I was just noticing that in the course of the day I seem to be traveling in a straight line between my home and my office about 4 times a day. That's my best explanation. I'll test it tomorrow. :D

My office has a steel roof, so signals are very weak inside.

That must be it. I was on an Air Canada flight that had free promo wifi from YVR to YEG. During the flight the location history has me travelling to Montreal, then to San Diego before arriving in YEG (actual destination). Don't know about Montreal but I updated my Fbook status during the flight and the location came up as San Diego.

On a different international multi segment flight, there is no location info at all during 2 segments where the airports did not have wifi. Changing the setting to show 2 days adds in my departure city but skips over the second city where I didn't get off the plane and kept my phone in airplane mode.

Before I switched to iPhone, my Android phone was relatively poor at detecting my location. Every so often it would decide I was in Nairobi instead of Chicago, and my alarm would go off at midnight because it would helpfully set my clock 8 hours ahead.
