My phone must have pooed it's pants when I was out on my walk today and just drew a straight line between home & about half way through my course. Is there a way to ammend map data to correct this? It would also be a great feature be able to map your routes if you don't have GPS capability

I have had the same problem a few times. What I've learned that despite the map "data" showing me swimming across a lake and seemingly shortening my walk, the distance appears to be accurate. I say this based upon the same walk around a lake showing correctly and and a second walk showing as straight line still nonetheless showi the same distance. Irritating? Most certainly. Sorry there's no way to edit that I've ever found.

Sorry if I was not clear or if it is not in the right place...
I walk everyday & track my walks with my fitbit app. I have had other fitbit devices in the past and until I get a new one I am using the app on my phone so that my data in all in the same place. A few days ago something happened with my phone where the GPS functionality stopped working for a preiod and it just drew a straight line from home to a point which affected the measured distance & pace.
My question is can you ammend the map data so that I have the correct course & distance that I actually walked. I know you can manually enter a walk but without the map data I do not know the distance.

There is no such feature.

Thanks heaps. The distance on mine was definitely cut too but I guess until I get a New unit I will just have to keep a closer eye on my app.
I still think this would be a great feature for corrections and non-gps units.
