What mobile device are you using?   I too have had problems with it.  I am using a Note 4 which is an authorized mobile device but I am wondering if people are only having problems with Android devices.

Please, try to use another device, cause mostly follow me depends on your mobile device GPS

I'm buying an external Bluetooth gps/barometer to take care of this. I wasn't having much luck with my iphone6.

I bought the Garmin GLO and it really works great with all my IOS devices. Follow me works with high accuracy.

Same problem with Galaxy S5 in follow me mode.    Are there any phone that work with this mode?

Interesting, I didn't know this function requires such a high accuracy.  


If Galaxy S5, Note4, iPhone 6 are all having issues, and since they pretty much represent the best of mobile phones in terms of locating abilities, I guess it's fair to say this Follow Me function requires you have an external GPS device.
