Verizon iPhone 4S: Problem with inaccurate GPS tracking
I've tried using the iMapMyRun+ app to track my runs on the Verizon iPhone 4S twice now and each time I've noticed afterward on the map of my run that the phone shows me zig zagging across the street, running through people's yards, and sometimes breaking into people's houses just so I can run through them... and all at an amazing speed.
These deviations from my actual course add considerable distance to my run and results in wildly inaccurate pace readings, making it almost impossible to use the phone to practice my pace. The only reason I'm test driving an iPhone is because it's supposed to be a better phone for runners since there are some really useful accessories available for the iPhone (and none for Android). So this GPS problem is a deal breaker for me. I uncovered some people complaining of this problem with the Verizon iPhone 4 and it sounded like it was specifically a problem with the Verizon version. Does anyone else have this problem or know about it? Is there a way to fix the Verizon phone or do I need to try the AT&T version?
