Since the new update the location tracking on the maps no longer display the dots and connecting lines (trace) correctly.
Is this a known issue?

Here is a screenshot showing the problem:

It was working just fine, all dots were in the right place and the trace line connecting them properly, just until the last update a few days ago.
Is this a known bug? Is it being fixed?
Thanks

Just coming to the forum to see if there was a reported issue for this . . .

I can confirm this . . . the mapping is messed up and showing up like the image posted by doclucas.

Well at least they added the direction on the call list now.

We are investigating this issue - it seems to be present only under specific conditions and we are trying to replicate it so we can fix it for one of our upcoming updates.

I'm just adding another voice to a recent problem (I assume, since last update) - when tracking, the proper locations show up on the map, but the line is not continuous; i.e., between tracking points, the connecting line goes to some point off-screen, then back to the next tracking point. The tracking log appears correct. I suppose you could say the line is continuous, but goes to some unknown location between actual tracking points, rather than from one point to the next. Hope this helps in your problem solving.

@Eddy, I do have patience.
The issue I reported started 2 months ago. I see there are more members posting this, I even opened up a support ticket, yet still have the same issue.
@OndraM do you mean that not all my.avast web accounts have this problem? Is it only limited to a few accounts?
As I wrote, everything was working fine until that end of Feb or beginning of March update.

Be nice to see a fix for this problem . . . the map is just about useless now.  Last time I knew I hadn't visited the South Pole.   :(

It seems that the problem is limited to specific locations.
The phone I am tracking was having showing this issue on the map while being in Thailand.
Then when flying to Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Kenya it showed the dots connecting correctly, so only while being in Thailand the problem occured.
Based on the map above (of mbankes), I see there are other locations with the same issue.
Does anybody here have any way to contact the developers and report these findings?
