After reboot, and GPS off: "Known" location is not last known location but some 'random' location seemingly from the past. #133

I was at some location A, with GPS, then traveled to location B, then C, then D.

Timespan: A few days; device connected to charger in between, GPS switched off and on from time to time; GPS fixes and correct map display were acquired in A, B, C and D and during travel.

In D the device did power off due to empty battery.

After powering on, the location is given near location B (Hannover), not the last known location. (GPS disabled, blue dot is at B, when pressing <R> in the map view the map centers to there).
(I actually have not been on the location shown, but maybe 1..2 km away; given the inaccuracy of T-Deck's GPS with bad reception it looks feasible that there was a time when it thought it has been there.)

I think the last known location should be saved and used, or as a fallback no location, but not some location known at a random time in the past.

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

v0.9.10

Regards!
