[Bug]: loss of location #4256

Hardware

T-Beam S3

Firmware Version

2.3.13

Description

I set a "fixed" location, but sometimes it gets lost for no reason and settles on this location:

Latitude: 0.0032768

Longitude: 0.0032768

Altitude: ???

this area is also populated by other nodes, so apparently I'm not the only one to experience this bug.

the funny thing is that each one has a slightly different location, and lattitude and longitude always seem to be identical for each node.

I haven't changed any settings and this bug seems to appear after disconnecting and reconnecting my router's power supply several times. Other settings are not affected.

Relevant log output

No response

I had my node set a position like this earlier today as well; happened when I did a reset of the NodeDB. My node is also set to use position precision of 16 on its primary channel (the default LongFast), and I was wondering if it could be related -- is your node using a limited precision of any kind?

I too use position precision = 16. Didn't reset my NodeDB, however. Only disconnected and reconnected the node 3-4 times.
