So I started running that client on a different device (I'd run the client on the tablet and radar scope on the phone or vice versa) and then I still had the problem as you can see in the fourth photo in the set, which was radarscope running on my tablet. I was also running the android spotter location client (since I turn radarscope on and off to save data), and thought that might be interfering. You can see the date and location of the photos in the "info" button on the upper right of the photos. I sat at this location for at least 5-10 minutes so radarscope should have caught up in any case.The third photo shows all three screens at once. In the second picture you can see radarscope indicating an incorrect position (the blue circle should be shown farther to the right at the intersection of the vertical line indicated by the other spotter network positions). You can see the stop sign in the background showing I was in fact at the intersection shown. In the first picture you can see the correct position on the PC in the first picture on both Delorme mapping software (left side of the screen) and GRLevel (right side of the screen). At one point I finally had a chance to stop and document it. Meanwhile, GRLevel was indicating the position correctly the whole time. Restarting Radarscope would not fix the problem, but rebooting it it would-for a while. Google Maps would show the correct GPS position on the same device even when radarscope wasn't. Repeatedly, radarscope was showing its blue GPS target circle in an old or incorrect position. I was out storm chasing in Texas and Oklahoma back in late April, and for several days had some very weird positional errors on two different devices (Droid phone and Samsung tablet). When I'm on a storm I'm looking at the sky way more than the radar but the position offset could have gotten me closer to the hail than I wanted to be in a rental car Here's what I wrote them with photos inserted below: They were thankful for the documentation and are investigating further but I wanted to let others know in case they encounter the same thing. After my initial problems I was able to document the issue and submit it to Radarscope tech support.
