Possible position mis-decode

 Extended Squitter Airborne position (barometric altitude)
  Address:       a353c6 (Mode S / ADS-B)
  Air/Ground:    airborne
  Altitude:      24675 ft barometric
  CPR type:      Airborne
  CPR odd flag:  odd
  CPR latitude:  (67272)
  CPR longitude: (42940)

a353c6: (Position { latitude: 33.64013671875, longitude: -125.04295349121094 }, 22625)

But that aircraft was closer to longitude -117 (screenshot may have been a few minutes after the decode above):

I just noticed that 1090 can't take a receiver location; Maybe it made a wrong guess at resolving the resulting position ambiguity?

I bet it's just the time between messages. I use the "Globally unambiguous position decoding" decoding which if I remember correctly uses both an Odd and Even 'Frame` for calculating the new lat/long.

It could also be a problem with my buffer in/out system. I'd have to checkup on that logic.

Oh yeah, time between messages has definitely caused this issue for me before, in other decoders.

Can confirm this issue when running Coverage for a night and zooming out:

I have something similar to this, fairly often I decode a lat/long of -300 ish by -170 ish, with a receiver location of roughly 50, -5. There's a possibility this is down to interference but I find it odd that it would always be in the ballpark of -300 -170.

Interesting. I'd like to get rid of this issue. This would require having more lat/long cpr values for all the bad lat/long values after calling get_position.

I'd also like to see if this is a problem in the C libraries, or if they do more pre/post processing.

Which dump1090 did you use?

I used this version of dump1090_rs
