My app/inspire HR is not reliable for mapping or distance measuring. Same run/walk sometimes shows a distance that is up to 20% higher than the real distance and the mapping is very unprecise

Sometimes it works fine. I have an iphone 10XR. 

The faulty measurements doe not appear to correlate with anything. I have tried to reboot the device prior to the exercise and made sure no other cell phone apps are open, but it does not seem to make a difference

Quite frustrating

I went for a walk about 5km. GPS tracker registered 15km and it showed up on the app as the same even though the steps total was only about 8,000 

I know the route so it's close to 5km
