Before you start

Open Activity, choose an activity type, and allow location access when prompted. Outdoors, wait for a usable GPS signal before starting.

For longer recordings, make sure your phone has enough battery and that system battery-saving settings are not restricting JustGains.

GPS run tracker with a 3D map, a GPS Strong indicator, voice cue toggle, and a Start button.
Wait for the GPS indicator to read Strong before you hit Start.

Finish and review

Pause when you deliberately stop, then finish the activity to save it. Review the route, duration, and distance before sharing.

Dense buildings, tunnels, and poor reception can affect the route. A small GPS wobble is not proof that you briefly achieved teleportation.
