Track recording issues

Answered
bowfreak

 I hadn't used my record track feature on my app until today.  When I tried to record a track it doesn't display or record data properly.  If you think in terms of walking around a typical running track....when I start my track at the start line and then walk a half a lap and then turn off my display by hitting the power button, I get a screwed up track if I walk the rest of the track and then turn my display on.  Instead of showing a track around the running track it will show a track for the first half of the lap and then a straight line to my current location where I'm standing when I turn the display back on.  Gaia has been running in the background on my phone the whole time.  I am using this app on a Galaxy S8+.

Any ideas how to fix this?

    Make sure that you do not have any power saving modes enabled.  Sounds as if a power saving mode is enabled and GAIA is "put to sleep" when the display is off.

    I have a similar problem.  No tracking when Gaia GPS is not in the forefront/active.  Track is not accurate but a straight line between when Gaia GPS was active.

    Google Pixel 3a

    Settings | Battery | Battery Save is set to "Off"

    Settings | Battery Adaptive Battery is set to "on".

    Android version 10

    Gaia GPS version 2020.6
