GPS Tracking

Postby gstringer on Mon Apr 16, 2012 12:21 pm

I just signed up for Every Trail. I like many of the features. I used Every Trail for the 1st time yesterday. The GPS in my iPhone gave me 6.1 miles on the hike. Zooming in on the map it appears I am walking in circles and zig zagging greatly, which adds artificial mileage. Others on this same hike using Every Trail have reported 5.4 and 5.3 miles which I believe to be closer to reality. Is this a problem with my iPhone GPS or on Easy Trail's end? I had a strong signal. Should I adjust the pings to almost constant to help this? For running and walking I have alo used Endomondo, Map My Walk, and RunKeeper all with similar GPS innacurate mileage. If anyone can help me or make a suggestion I would appreciate it. Thanks.

There are some changes you can make in the app (accuracy thresholds, etc), but often times GPS signal strength isn't great on the phone.

Hi guys!
Right now I am using this tracking solution based on a web interface: http://gps.weblocator.eu/index.xhtml?login_demo_account=true&lang=en.

More info you can find here http://weblocator.eu/?lang=en and here http://weblocator.eu/oferta-preturi/monitorizare-urmarire-gps-management-flota-gestionare-parc-auto/?lang=en

I had tested a lot of other free or commercial tracking services and finally I have chosen to use this service cause it works on any major platform: PC / laptop (Windows, OsX), smartphone (Android, iOS, Symbian, Windows mobile, Bada, BlackBerry). So you guts could enjoy using this web based solution practically on any device.

I would like to briefly highlight the main key features and advantages against other "similar" solutions:
- first of all they provide free of charge tracking services (under some limitations & restrictions but the basic free plan would be enough for any beginner in this field so I highly recommend it for you!)
- they offer you different service packs so you are free to design the most proper pack
- provides Realtime localization, Vehicle history replay, POI, Areas, Fleet management, Reports (Detailed Log Book, Simplified Log Book, Stopping Report, Geofence Report, POI Report, Area Report, Alert Report, etc.)
