My i415 is not reporting the last stop or last position where the car is parked. It reports always 1 block away.Any comments or help.

Do you have 'Smart Sending' enabled? Try disable that and it should report the stationary positions constantly.

I have the same issue, and have found disabling smart sending to cure it.

Is this due to a poor signal or is there some solution that will allow the smart sending feature to work?
I really like the smart sending to reduce the redundant positions reported.

The smart sending has an algorithm to figure out whether 2 adjacent data are "duplicates". In your case, the 1 block difference falls in the "duplicate".

You might ask why not adjust the algorithm to be more sensitive so as to differentiate 1 block distance. The reason is that the GPS signal are not accurate all the time and drifting within 200 feet from time to time and it'll render smart sending useless.

I guess my problem may not be the same, as the reporting of postions stops entirely when the car is parked. With smart sending disabled, I get reports approx. every 5 minutes.
I am using the latest version (3.3.0), but the previous version behaved the same.

It seems with smart sending turned off, you have a much better chance of receiving the last parked position. With it on, I was never receiving the last parked position. It was always showing the vehicle in motion and approx. 1 block away.
You may have to deal with the unit reporting more, but you'll get more accurate last parked postion. IMPORTANT!
