Frequently wrong

Location is frequently just wrong.

No Real Time Location

Here in the last few months, it is not giving real time location. I can check on one of my children and it shows that they are 10 miles away and then they walk in the door a minute later at my house. I don’t know what’s wrong and why it’s not showing me the location in real time because it used to.

Not so sure

Every since my husband and I started sharing our locations it takes the app days to update our locations. Doesn’t really help if we can’t see each other’s locations in real time.

Unable to add code to join family why is this separate can OnStar just have 1 app. Am convinced the developers of these apps don’t drive.
