Stupid Map My Run

[TwistaRuns]

So this stupid map my run doesn't seem to be being very accurate. At all.

It said THST is done 7:25 km when I knew I'd only done 5. Whhhhhy???

It may not be Mapmy run that is stupid. It could be the device you are using the app on. Most phones do not have very accurate GPS technology onboard, combined with reception problems and the limitations of the entire GPS network, means that occasionally, wildly inaccurate results do get thrown up out of nowhere. Even the dedicated GPS watches throw a wobbly every now and then. Give it another chance, checking very carefully when and where you switch on the tracking.

What is THST?

I wouldn't say MMR is stupid, I'd say it's pretty good for a free app.

[TwistaRuns Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Not sure why THST came up. I'd typed. "That I'd".

Hmm it doesn't seem to be working out all that well for me. It's frustrating... (Ps- I don't actually have the free version)

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

Um - why ever not?

I gave up on this too. After a run I zoomed in to my route, and my walk up my road zigzagged wildly according to the app. It did this along the entire run, which must have added a fair distance.
