We have been using MapMyRun on my wife's phone to map our hiking distances for the past 2 years without issue. Recently we haven't been able to hike as usual, so we have been walking around the neighborhood. In the last few outings, MMR shows us going on different streets, round and round, where we haven't actually been. So today, we drove around the same streets as what we actually walked, and got almost similar (bad) results on TWO phones. THEN, we placed the two phones on the dash of the car, repeated the drive and one phone had perfect results while mine was nearly perfect, except for the befogging portion, which showed us in an area about a block away--the same general area that has been incorrectly recorded on my wife's phone, via MMR, for the past few weeks.
I've Googled GPS issues and some say that clouds don't make a difference to accuracy, but with our cloudy weather and recent GPS accuracy issues on two phones, I'm wondering if anyone here sees inaccuracies during heaving rain clouds.
T o rule out MMR as the culprit, I installed a different app to track our location. When the phones are in our pockets, in the car they were both inaccurate today. BUT, for the last two years, GPS on my wife's phone, using MMR, has been super accurate with the phone in a small backpack during hiking, in mostly good weather.
