Make sure to wait for sometime before switching the GPS and mobile data back on again.
Update your Android OS
Not a very conducive solution to this issue as we do not regularly receive OS updates. But it is better to check for the Android OS updates from time-to-time because OEMs often push out bugfix updates. To do this, you can head to Settings>>About Phone>>System Update to check for new updates. Note that the update location depends on your OEM.
Uninstall conflicting apps
Though it is totally fine to use more than one navigation or location apps on your device. However, at times this can create conflict while you try to use one navigation app resulting in errors and ultimately lower accuracy. It is recommended to use one location or navigation app in order to avoid such a mishap.
Check signal or mobile network
As we all know, navigation apps require a strong mobile network in order to work correctly and smoothly. You need to make sure that you are having a decent signal while using the navigation apps to avoid such accuracy errors. For this, you can also use a third-party app called Open Signal, that you can download from the below button.
