Map card not updating

Configuration
1

After installing the latest Hassio update my map cards no longer update. Looking at the map page shows the correct location for all three people, but the map cards just show all people/devices at out home location. Clicking on the location icon on the map shows out of date GPS data from a few days ago.

Restarted whole system no difference…

0.94.4

Any ideas ?
The screenshots below show the .man map.page with the correct locations, and the map cards with the wrong locations.

if they are all people, verify that a second person wasn’t created by looking in the states page.

So, dug into this a bit more and found that HA has created duplicates for all three of the device trackers I’ve setup.

eg. I have:

device_tracker.phil_philsphone

this is updated by OwnTracks, but on checking the entity list another has been magically created:

device_tracker.phil_philsphone_2

This new entity has the up to date position information, and the original has out of date ones.

I’ve changed my dashboard to use the new entity, as well as update the ‘Persons’ section in the Hassio config, but how and why did this new entity get created…?

I’ll answer my own question…
