#Geolocated Location radius is very very large, putting me into my home zone when I'm not home

Very similar to this post without a clear answer: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/gps-radius-sometimes-huge/699178

HA will detect me as "Home" and run automations associated when I'm not home in two repeatable scenarios. When I'm coming up from the subway and when I turn off airplane mode after landing anywhere in the world.

I haven't looked at logs for airport landing, but for the subway it seems my location radius is too large. I have precise location enabled in iOS and "exact" location in my HA Companion app. Further, in my HA logs my geolocated location will turn to "San Francisco" as opposed to an address.

**Is there any way I can configure HA to ignore location updates with very large radii? **
I'm running an iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.2.

GPS radius sometimes huge

hey, just switched to gps tracking if i‘m home or not. it works good, but from time to time the radius is huge and it detects me at home even if i‘m about 1km away. here is a screenshot of the huge and normal radius. someone knows what’s causing this?

Yes, my home zone radius is small - like a block. the radius of the location presented was about a mile wide
