Many inaccurate recording problems can be attributed to the signal reception in the area you are located and the different hardware built into your smartphone. However, if the recording is frequently inaccurate, you can take the following steps to optimize accuracy:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed from the Google Play Store.
2. Set the correct time zone in your device:
   1. Open the settings of your device.
   2. Navigate to “Date and time”. Make sure that ‘Use network time zone’ or ‘Automatic time zone’ is enabled.
      An incorrect time zone can cause problems in finding the GPS signal.
3. Make sure that the GPS on your phone is active:
   1. Open the settings of your device.
   2. Select Location
   3. Depending on your device and Android version you can choose from different options. Please choose the option ‘High accuracy’. This allows your phone to track you using GPS and networks.
      Some devices also offer options like ‘Google location accuracy’. If you select these options you can improve the accuracy even more.
4. Allow The Mantrailing App to access your location
   1. Open the device settings
   2. Select Apps
   3. Search for The Mantrailing App in the list and check that the app has access to your location. (Depending on your device and Android version, different access permissions are possible)
5. Disable the power saving mode on your device and the battery optimization for The Mantrailing App. Depending on your device and Android version, the optimisation of your battery life may stop the app or decrease the GPS accuracy. We would like to take this opportunity to point out a good guide from Runtastic that can help you with this step: Help for GPS Problems on Android Phones
6. If the points above did not help, please try the following steps:
   1. Restart your smartphone.
   2. Open Google Maps for a few seconds until a location is found. Open The Mantrailing App.

• Record up to 5 dog trails and save them with additional data

• Export you trails to Mail, Dropbox, etc.
• Print and export your trail logs to PDF
• Connect your runner trail to your dog trail and display them together
• Display the runner trail during the recording
• Virtual Trainer

You can work on a trail without a third man as a backup. Just load the runner trail into the app, start the VT-Corridor and the app will warn you like an virtual Backup, when your dog is loosing the trail within the given corridor. Your training becomes more efficient and you can work in two if necessary.

You can activate the Virtual Trainer in the settings.

3. Click on the weather symbol on the top right (sun)
4. The weather data will now be downloaded from the internet automatically
5. You can only download weather data 24 hours after the trail is finished. We recommend to load the weather data immediately after the trail.

2. Click on the button ‘Export’
3. The best way to share a trail is via ‘Mail’ or ‘Dropbox’

2. In the following dialog choose ‘GPX’
3. Wait until the export has finished
4. Now choose the App to share the created GPX file

There are two methods:

Method 1:
1. Start the app where you have received the GPX-file (Email, Dropbox, etc.) and click on the file.
2. Select ‘The Mantrailing App’ to open the file.
If this method should not work use method 2.

Method 2:

2. Open the app menu and open ‘Import GPX’
3. In the opening dialog select the local GPX file.
If the dialog doesn’t open, an additional app is required, that provides the functionallity to access the internal storgae. We recommend using ‘ES File Explorer File Manager‘.
