### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
1. I expect my location to update every 5 seconds as defined in the code.
2. I expect my location to be correctly reported on the map to reflect where my device is.
#### What happened instead?
1. My location updates at random sometimes taking 20~ seconds as shown in the video
2. My location is not being correctly reflected in the map. Element is reporting that I am off the road when its clear I am driving on the road via google maps. I have the google maps PiP shown to validate the gps is being updated.
