My family can track each other via google maps.  Updates are sometimes infrequent and locations are frequently off by significant (quarter-mile, half-mile) amounts or moving hundreds of feet while asleep in a hotel.  Phones are Pixel 2 and daughter's almost-newest iPhone.  Freeways, big cities, places where there are lots of towers. Verizon and T-Mobile
 Is it the phones or google or something completely different?
 

I think that's a problem with Google Maps, I have noticed I am getting rather inaccurate measurements when following my walks on Maps. It gets a bit better if I actually use the application during the walk, but if I don't it will just guesstimate my location and sometimes be hundreds of meters off the target.
