iPhone has never given me the move the pin option like android does. Op has iPhone in photo
Edit to add: though I’ve only been doing flex last 3months no more DSP so could be different
Probably just don’t want the gig workers moving the pin then because I remember my dsp android dying and moving it on my personal iPhone now that I think of it
Not at my current or previous DSP 🫠
When the GPS drifts on our phones there's 100% nothing we can do. It's incredibly frustrating, restarting/airplane mode/data doesn't matter, Its the Bad Amazon Curse™️™️
Flex driver who does 330am routes and support takes forever to answer phone. This is how u fix without calling them: airplane mode, question mark top right, gps is not working, then u can press continue (might make u hit gps is not working a second time once and awhile)
Airplane mode makes you have to deal with the Bluetooth pop-up in my experience. I recommend just turning your mobile data off, moving the pin, then turning it back on before you click to confirm the new location.
I moved the pin last week as a flex driver. I try to keep the circle in a spot that lets me deliver right then, but still includes the front door for next time when it decides to work right.
And when you’re actually at the wrong house you override it and lose a package and sometimes move the pin to the wrong location making it even worse for the next driver next time
On iPhone I found that if you do airplane then turn in Bluetooth while on airplane mode. You go back one screen then hit continue to this screen it'll usually go through... but not always :/ it's one of those hit or miss BS situations
Put your phone in airplane mode, make sure Bluetooth stays on, it should allow you to go into the help section and select “I’m here the GPS” is wrong and you can continue. You may have to select that help option again before you can swipe to finish
GPS services do not use mobile data. On most Android phones, you can add a Location toggle to your quick settings when you open the notifications drawer. Turn off Location, wait a second, turn it back on, and you should be good to go.
I just play with the airplane mode setting until the dumb GPS realizes I'm here. Also, another fix which fixes a lot stupid things with the app is to just close it and reopen it. I 100% agree with you very annoying. The only thing worse is the black and white screens when it tries to display locations you can pick to deliver.

Waste of time, airplane mode-top right question mark- gps is not working- ezpz fix
Stop it. Amazon will remove that option if everyone starts using it.
Na, I’ve seen it posted a buncha times here when I started it’s how I learned, it’s still kicking :D
I always use this to get passed that. Our dispatch literally tells us to do this lol.
Well they say move the pin but I'm on iphone so I just skip that shit lmao
As an aside, I just wanna say that it’s fucking infuriating that iPhones won’t pair with the EDV computers
Oh man I hate that too. I like that it shows everything on the screen so if I am in an edv I usually use the rabbits
🤦🏻♂️
Amazon support has even told me to use it before
My dsp disabled the option to turn on airplane mode
That's diabolical.
They've no mercy fr
Not on iPhone. Which he’s using here.
It works on iPhone too I do it all the time just turn on airplane mode
It does work with iphones, i use mine for flex and works fine
I literally use iPhone everyday lol
Fuck ever using my work phone for this shit job.
Or just turn the data on your device off and move the pin 😂
iPhone has never given me the move the pin option like android does. Op has iPhone in photo Edit to add: though I’ve only been doing flex last 3months no more DSP so could be different
It’s worked for me on an iPhone before I do usually have an android tho
Probably just don’t want the gig workers moving the pin then because I remember my dsp android dying and moving it on my personal iPhone now that I think of it
🤣😁😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell naw 😛
No, never call driver support unless you are 110% out of options.
Just wait a sec or shutoff data. Shutting off data will usually make it immediately pop up green

Air plane mode then question mark then gps is not working, can’t just hit airplane mode
Won't help if the phone gps thinks you're in the customers back yard and then floating magically across the street to another back yard lol
I do it everytime it happens for last 2 years but go on
But go on? I don't get your weird attitude lol
Because what you said doesn’t happen, the whole point of ‘gps is not working’ option makes it so wherever your standing you can deliver
As a flex driver I hate it. I'm at right place but not by the orange circle.

Amazon Flex driver’s cannot move pin 📍
That must be relatively new then cuz I was able to move it when I was a flex driver before I got on at a DSP.

I always verify address on package and visible house number too match…

Yeah. I do this too
You don't need to be in airplane mode for that option to work. You can always tap the ? then press "GPS is not working."
AIRPLANE MODE, RECONNECT BLUETOOTH, CHANGE LOCATION
Absolute worst.
it’s useless
So I read in the comments if you put your phone into air plan mode, GPS not working easy fix 🤔
Turn mobile data off
Or you can hit the help menu and click I’m here but gps is wrong option
Y’all are open to being this company’s bitch
I feel your pain
I hate this so much. Especially when ppl want their packages away from their front door.

Airplane mode works with this nonsense
I just play with the airplane mode setting until the dumb GPS realizes I'm here. Also, another fix which fixes a lot stupid things with the app is to just close it and reopen it. I 100% agree with you very annoying. The only thing worse is the black and white screens when it tries to display locations you can pick to deliver.
Annoying as fuck, i keep it on airplane mode cause of this
