This summer Apple Maps believed I teleported 200m into a corn field for long enough it told me to return to the route. The location kept updating, moving in parallel to my real location.

What is the speed limit in that field?

Would a car suffer from similar problems? Should it continue at the original rate of speed or slam the brakes?

I had that a couple of months ago. Phone was fine when not connected to car play, location bang on. Soon as I plugged it in it moved my location.

Did the same with two other phones. Car play takes the location from the car rather than the phone.
