Riding out of London on the A3 and it thinks I'm riding through all the streets beside the A3. This eventually ends with a splash screen with a question mark.

    Is it not using the phone's GPS by any chance? It is possible that incorrect location data is received. Just guessing.

    I 'guess' so... but have used my phones google maps daily for a living. So I know that shouldn't be a problem

    It is worth sending them a mail with some more details and they could check it (route, phone, sw version, etc.).

    It should use the GPS module in the VIO device.
    I have GPS deactivated on the phone, and it works well.

    Definitely worth then to send them a mail with the details, so they can look into.

    Make sure battery level is good, and the device has good view to the sky.
    Sounds like the GPS accuracy is low, because you'r device can only see a few satellites.
    If there are tall buildings, it can also be a problem.
