That is why we don’t want to map your route onto fixed roads and trails. In the case of running or mountain biking, you sometimes want to run off road, or create your own path through the trees and bushes. Navigation apps rely on existing data about the streets and trails you are on. It can also use Wi-Fi networks in the area to improve the result. Google Maps, for instance, can draw on real-time GPS satellite data to determine your current position accurately. The challenge for apps like Runtastic is to calculate the route run from many pieces of data, some of which are inaccurate or incomplete.

This means that there can be big differences in measurement between devices.

Smartphones also vary greatly in terms of the quality of their GPS receivers and antennas.

Sometimes, problems occur when the GPS signal is delayed or blocked. Maybe you’ve already asked yourself a question like why does my GPS sometimes not work? Or I’m not sure if my smartwatch is compatible with the adidas Running app? Or when should I rest during an adidas Training workout? Below you will find the answers to these and many more questions.
