What is GPS?

GPS, Global Positioning System, is a satellite-based navigation setup used to pinpoint your location.

Why is there an erratic line in my workout, especially in the altitude graph?

The position information is calculated from signals received from GPS satellites orbiting the Earth at very high altitude. Any obstacle to the sky can affect the positioning. The situation is particularly bad in cities with buildings blocking the view to the sky.

Which external GPS device should I use?

We recommend the Nokia LD-4W. Nokia Sports Tracker supports compatible devices with in-built GPS, too.

Why is the total distance in the summary view much shorter than the actual workout?

If the recording is cut off for some reason, for example, the mobile device runs out of battery power while recording, the workout file lacks a valid ending time stamp. The summary view lacks data from the last few minutes of the workout, although the workout plot is correct. Always stop recording your workout by selecting "Stop".
