GPS on S3 Frontier (Verizon) is inaccurate.

For the second night in a row, I went out for a run, and the GPS gets lost, somewhere in my run. I have it set to auto locate, and connection thru GPS as well as cellular date. Something isn't working. I worked well for a few weeks, but now this.

This is what my watch shows, even tho I did not stop at all.



This is what it shows for my distance



This is what Google shows for my distance....1 way. I actually ran 5.2 miles.



If anyone could offer any insight, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks.....

Did you run one way? or out and back?

If you ran one way (2.6 mi) then it looks like your watch did not stop tracking at the 14 min mark. It looks like the watch activity dropped to zero at the turn around point. Did you pause there for ~4 minutes before making the return trip?

I use Endomondo on my S3 and haven't seen any issues with tracking.

I went out and back. Total run distance of 5.2 miles. I paused very briefly, at the turn, as it shows. The long pause.....I was still running. Had not paused.
