Steps
Confirm the mobile device has GPS, Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, and Google Location Services all enabled and set to "Allowed all the time" for the Guard Tour/SHIFT apps
Check the portal's Accepted GPS Accuracy setting (Very Precise vs Very Wide) — widen it for older hardware or poor-signal regions
Recalibrate the device's compass if breadcrumbs show erratic direction (figure-8 motion on Android, rotate/tilt on iPhone)
For vehicle mobile patrol in urban areas, add a third-party Bluetooth GPS receiver/booster for more consistent signal
Remember a green GPS badge only confirms a valid signal at that moment — check background app/battery settings if breadcrumb gaps persist
Known gotchas
A green GPS badge does not guarantee unbroken breadcrumb tracking — background reporting can still be killed by battery-saving modes or OS suspension
The Accepted GPS Accuracy setting applies portal/region-wide to all devices, so widening it to fix one site loosens accuracy everywhere else in that region
