Mileage off for tracks
Answered
Hi,
I recently finished a few long hikes and mileage has been horribly off. I recently did the Loowit Trail loop and one day the app only tracked 4 miles during a 12hr hiking day. Me and the group ended up doing about 11.5 miles. Mileage was given to me from one of the guides on the trip. The next day, I hit the tracking button and the time tracker wouldn't even go past 0:00 for half the day. That day I restarted my phone and app with no change.
I did Blanca Lake yesterday and, due to the road closure to trail head, we had an additional 2 miles to add. Gaia reported 11.2 miles while someone who had a Garmin recorded 13 miles. I'm doing an event for a nonprofit that is dependant on my mileage being as correct as possible. Help?
I have not changed any settings, location has been enabled, airplane mode has been on during this but not battery saver settings, and it's been on a downloaded map.

It sounds like Gaia GPS is having trouble accessing the device's GPS data.
Will you make sure your location services are set to Device/GPS only: Why can't Gaia GPS locate me?
If that doesn't work, shoot an email to support@gaiagps.com and we can troubleshoot further.0 -
Hi,
Thanks for the reply! I'll double-check those settings and if I still have this issue, I'll send an email. :)
