I have tried the caynax sports tracker for the first time with an one hour bike tour. It showed me on the map where I was, but not the route I had already cycled. And after the tour I could only see on the map the farthest point I have reached, not the way I have gone.
What did I do wrong?
Thank you
Wow. This is really unusual. What device do you use?
I am using a Samsung Galaxy A40.
After trying some things it works better now. I had the cell phone in my purse before so I think it didn’t receive the signal.
If I put it on top of the bike basket it works most times that the cycled way is shown. But it still looses the signal pretty often. If I often open the app and press the radio (?) button on the upper left, it connects again.
But that is not very handy to have to do that again and again. I want to try a bike bag for the handlebar so that I can do that while I am going.
Did anyone else experience that?
The same thing happens to me all the time. I’m walking with my phone in my pocket. I walked 10 km with many turns, but it only showed a straight line. It’s really frustrating. GPS works fine on other apps.
Please try changing Location permission from “Allow only while using application” to “Always allow”.
Some manufacturers like Samsung wrongly treat first mode (which should work fine according to Android documentation) so when you minimize app or turn off screen they revoke application GPS access.
