SkyHook can be rather inaccurate because it takes them a while to learn that an AP has moved. I’ve had pretty hysterical results from wifi on planes and trains pushing me towards wherever the plane used to be. For that matter, after I moved (only about two blocks), I still showed up in my old apartment because the signal strength was by far the strongest and obviously all the other readings must be erroneous.
I’m honestly really curious what the explanation for this turns out to be, and kind of feel bad that that’s the reason for hoping they get it fixed that has more emotional weight for me. :)

Yeah. A simple inaccurate position for their router wouldn’t have this result, though. There must be some sort of funnel effect.
It’s also surprising the mix of devices affected - surely not all those vendors are using SkyHook.
Oh, I think there’s more to it, but the way at least some of these systems are built, the way they resolve conflicting inputs is.. suboptimal.
