Issues with Walk workouts

Bugreport for Sports Tracker

I continue to have issues with workouts in Walk mode, whereas I have no problems in other modes?

The problem seems to stem from loosing the GPS signal and the software not re-acquirng it, even when the BT GPS unit has reacquired the signal.

I record lots of tracks in my car and on my bike and never have any problems, but always seem to get this problem with Walks. Also, the recorded track is very erratic and spikey.

Is it just me having these issues?

I get this in hiigh rise areas, near certain buidings and before I learnt about A-GPS. Running is marginally better although it once thought I hit 50kmh running through North Sydney. I think with walking you are nearer buildings than when riding on the road or driving.

last time i was walking through the ruins at bosra in syria, so not especially built up. the other time was walking in petra in jordan, again should be ok there, at least where the valley opens up.

i have A-GPS on in syria and as i mentioned before, don't get the problem at all with other activities? i'm wondering if it something to do with the data acquisition rate settings or the degree of filtering?

i don't mind getting spurious data points, but what's frustrating is that it doesn't reacquire the position and i have to restart the application to get it working again.

An amazing part of the world you live in. I do not have to restart the application to reaquire.

Just read through your thread a few time and noted that it did not state the version of NST you are useing.

Also have you tried the age old uninstall and reinstall method?
