ThinkNode M1 possible GPS issue

in Meshtastic

I just purchased 2 of the ThinkNode M1 nRF52840 devices.
Problem with GPS. 3845 GPS location is good accurate.
7d66 with GPS always NOT accurate and always show up 1.2 miles away in the same place when at home location.
Why is this, how to correct this or is this unit defective?
Both firmwares are out of the box as 2.6.5.0d800b7. Should i update to 2.7.15.567b8 ?

    I am also having issues with GPS accuracy on devices I just got. I've tried 2.7.15 and 2.7.23 alpha

    Hi sidetrak ,
    Meshtastic has implemented a deliberate obfuscation mechanism in this regard: while the underlying latitude and longitude data captured is accurate, a random "fuzzing" effect is applied when displaying it on the map. Please try enabling the "High Precision" setting to see if it helps.

    Thanks！ Have a good day!

    Warm regards
