<p>Phones assume that you are walking along streets, or running along tracks or cycling. They are very bad at making the right guesses for the Totes Gebirge plateau.

<p>Do <em>not</em> select the "high accuracy" location setting on your phone. Mostly this will snap your position to the nearest cafe or bierstube: by default it will use the nearest WiFi it can find and assume that you are there, and will ignore the perfectly good GPS position it has recorded directly.
<p>Do <em>not</em> select the "high accuracy" location setting on your phone. Mostly this will snap your position to the nearest cafe or bierstube: by default it will use the nearest WiFi it can find and assume that you are there, and will ignore the perfectly reasonable GPS position it has recorded directly.
<p>This is all explained by Google <a href="https://support.google.com/maps/answer/2839911?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Android">here</a>.
<p>On the plateau, this "high accuracy" mode will simply give you the <em>wrong</em> position if it can't get a decent GPS fix. There is poor cell tower reception too, so trying to use that for location is just as bad.
