Negative distances...

Richard Acosta2 years ago

I have found this odd behavior and i'm worried about it.

There's certain times when distances get reported negative, and I can't understand what's happening.
When he goes, distance is positive, when he gets back on the same track, distance is still positive, but some times, this strange thing appears.

Could it may be because the device stores data while there's no internet signal and then reports it in bulk, maybe server gets messy?

Most likely your device is not reporting data in the chronological order and that's what's causing. This issue has been discussed many times on the forum.

Sorry, didn't knew. The bulk uploading then.
I'm sorry, I also opened the same subject a year ago... kill this thread.

Thank you very mucha again.

Or, wait...
¿Couldn't there be a way to "instruct" the server to treat distances between points according to their reported date/time instead of the time when they are being reported? This will solve the issue and would'nt alter any meaningful data or interpretation of it.

Currently it's not possible.
