For best results with GPS tracking: • Be sure you have installed the latest version of the app • Toggle Location Services ‘on’ for RunKeeper in phone settings (settings->general->location services and make sure location services are turned on specifically for RunKeeper) • Turn airplane mode and wi-fi off in phone settings • Open the app with a direct line to the sky, then wait to lock a GPS signal with green indicator before heading out. You may need to press ‘try again’ multiple times, depending on how long it takes the device to calibrate with the GPS satellites. This may take several minutes. • If it is cloudy, or there are trees or tall buildings around, you may experience GPS disruptions. There are GPS coverage area issues in as certain locations that do not have a strong signal. If one location gives you issues, try another and you may notice improvements.
