How do I enable GPS?
The app uses the GPS in your phone or smartwatch to estimate distance during run, walk or bike ride. The app cannot measure distance using a pedometer or accelerometer.
To track distance, you must turn on Location Services by taking these steps:
1. Navigate to your phone's general settings.
2. Select Privacy
3. Toggle Location Services to ON.
4. Scroll down, tap PEAR and select "Always".
5. While running, cycling or walking, you can see how strong your GPS Signal is by viewing the bars displayed in the Workout Screen.
***How to improve GPS accuracy***
The more obstructions there are between you and the sky (where satellites send location data), the less accurate GPS may be. Therefore, objects like buildings, trees and tunnels, and even your clothing and body can get in the way. To avoid this, it might help to put the phone in an unobstructed place, such as on an armband, handlebar mount, back pocket, etc. But keep in mind that discrepancies in distance are expected with every GPS device. As an example, when running a 5K, you might end up running further than 3.1 miles on your device, simply because of the track you took (like running on the outside of a track).
