    Hi Wheelswarrior
    I mean remeber the rule "No system is safe". I guess its possible.
    You can ofc change a gps signal.
    On Android for example there are even apps there for (1)
    But tbh I don't think the car got hacked.
    You should firstly check if your mobile has in the same location problems with gps (To see if its a local problem), if not you should take the GPS Sensor and check it. Otherwise build a new one in and try it again.
    Maybe this helps you.
    Best regards

    I am also very curious about a situation like this, suppose we are on a hike day with a GPS watch, and someone can manipulate it, then it could be a nightmare. is there really a possibility that an outdoor ABC GPS watch can be malware attacked?
