Hi when im out on a ride with the tracker on it only mesures my track/route in a straight line. Yesterday when i was out using it my bike computer told me i had done 13 miles but on the app it was only 4.8 miles?. I use os maps and it didnt follow the road at all!. (not to good if i want to keep the route as a gpx file) . I have the refresh set at medium every 2 sec i think. How do i set things to follow the route i am riding?

Hi,
If you got straight lines, it means that the GPS signal was lost during a quite long period.

You can check the precision threshold and try to set a higher value: in the AlpineQuest preferences, under Location Tracker (at the bottom), value 'Precision threshold'. If a location is less precise that this value, the Tracker won't use it.

While biking/riding, be sure also that your device can access the aerial GPS signal. Depending on the weather, sometimes it don't even in a light backpack pocket.
Also, do you use an Android version like Cyanogen? Lot of users reported GPS issues with it.

Hope it will help,
Let me know.
