    Hello Jonaber93,

     

    After reviewing your post, It sounds like Find My Friends is not being too accurate. I would recommend you read these articles, they may be able to help troubleshoot the issue.

    If a location is old or inaccurate

    You might not see a device's current location if it needs to update in iCloud. Wait a few minutes, then try again. 

    If you're signed in to Find My Friends on more than one device, you might need to check which of your devices your friends can see:  

    • On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then tap your active device under Share My Location From. This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.
    • On an iPad, tap the List button, tap Me, tap Info, then tap your active device under Share My Location From. This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.

    If the location circle is too large

    If the location circle is too large, wait a few minutes, then try again. The device might be determining a more accurate location, or it might not be able to provide a more accurate location. This can happen if the device is indoors with no known Wi-Fi base station around.

    Improve GPS accuracy

    GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:

    • Make sure that you've set the date, time, and time zone correctly on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
      Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
    • Restart your device.
    • Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
      Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
    • Keep a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    Have a nice day.
