Collector - Measurements snap to roadway

Question

We have Agriculturists measuring field borders and at times the field polygon snaps to the roadway, rather than staying where the four-wheeler and iPad are measuring.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

Please take a look at this blog for a status update,

Working on the same project.  You can certainly see when this happens, you get a nice straight line instead of the obviously GPS edge (photo attached).  This appears to be a common, but solvable, problem with iOS apps.

This is just one example I have found thus far: http://ilquest.com/2012/11/02/ios-6-is-unusable-for-people-relying-on-accurate-gps-tracks/

We are going to test turning off data services and slowing down a bit to avoid the "snap to road" feature

I've confirmed that it is not snapping to another feature in the web map.

Any input would very helpful!
