Q: Find Friends geofence keeps saying I arrived and left home when i haven't

I turned on the Notification feature (aka Geofencing) in Find Friends to notify someone when I arrive an leave work and home.  It sent 13 updates while I was at work. I repointed the emails to come to me so I could figure out what was going on. 

 

Yesterday while I was at home, it sent 16 emails saying I had left and then immediately arrived 8 times in a half hour while I had actually been at home the whole time.

 

I assume the GPS+WiFI+tower keeps losing and regaining my location, and the result is that it thinks I am moving a short distance away and then back.

 

 

Does anyone know a solution to this?

 

Also - How do I make Apple  aware of this problem?  I tried googling and searching this support site and didn't see any reference to it.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.1
