GPS going mad on upload

Bugreport for Sports Tracker

17-03-2009 12:35

I have had two workouts recently where the tracking is absolutely fine on my phone, but when i upload it has me cycling out to sea!

On one cycle i was traveling along the cost in Kent but on upload it had me cycling to Dunkerque!

And it has happened again today!

any suggestions?

Check the GPS filtering setting. Settings>General>GPS filtering and choose "High". The filter algorithm is designed to minimize positioning spikes.

I noticed something similar when I recently entered the N79 Active heart contest. On my first attempt the design I created by cycling around in my workout looked fine, and still does, on my phone. However, when I uploaded it to the website the workout looked horrible. Possibly, the data being uploaded is somewhat summarized? Not sure.

Can you provide a link to your workout?

(edit) Found your workout. I've never seen that before. You're not riding through a canyon, looks flat so not a GPS reception issue.

What is your phone model, firmware and SportsTracker version number?

thanks for replying. GPS filtering was already set to high.

One of the weird things is the data relating to speed, altitude, time is correct with the phone. So the graphs are correct. Having looked more closely the line drawn at the end of the two parallel lines taking me out to sea is also correct - had it been on top of the A20!

My phone is an E71, it is version 1.82, i can't remember how to check my firmware?

You can find out which firmware is in your phone by dialling *#0000# on the phone standby screen.

And just incase you ever need it, you can find out you IMEI by dialling *#06# on the phone standby screen.

Hi,

I don't know if this may help, but I have been located in the sea by some map applications when using "network based" positioning, In my case, the numerical sign of the latitude was incorrect (always a positive number, though I'm in the southern hemisphere). When back to builtin gps + assisted gps it always locates me correctly.

I use a Nokia N78 and i have the same problem. Looks fine on the phone but not good on the website. It is also ok if you export the route and opens it in google earth.

This is what it looks like on the web
