The path the ridewithgps says I've taken is much more zig-zaggy than reality.
Is the problem likely to be attributable to clouds? Do other things cause this? Is it possible that the GPS receiver in my iPhone might be starting to fail?
lots of things can cause interference...BUT I used to use my phone as a dedicated computer and my GPS did go wonky. I have since been using a Elemnt Bolt in conjunction to adding a speed sensor and have never looked back. I never knew what I was missing until I got the Bolt. The post ride analysis rivals premium versions of Strava, MapMyRide, etc...and the integration is seamless.
