Does not record entire track, just crow distance between way points

Eric Kops shared this question ago

Answered

The program used to record my entire track. Now, it just records distance between waypoints. For example, if I mark my car and hike two miles to a waterfall, it will only record the route "as the crow flies," and draw a straight line and say 1 mile. It doesn't record the twists and turns in my routes and the variations in elevation as I hike.

Please help!!!!!

I used another app and the same thing happened. Any ideas on how to fix my GPS?

Thanks

Hi Eric,

check if Locus is excluded from your device battery optimization - if not then GPS is turned off when the app runs on background. More tips: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:faq:gps_lost_fix_android6

Thanks for the help. You were correct; although I was able to use power saving mode in the past, I cannot do it anymore. I went to settings to give locus and gps status special permissions, but it still did not work in power saving mode. For me, it must be turned off.

I have a Galaxy S8 with Android 8.0.0.

Thanks again! :)
