We wanted to give the user more control over the accuracy of their runs! **How Does Fix GPS Work?** The "Fix it" button essentially uses some secret sauce ingredients that enables the app to smooth out poor GPS points, so that a much more accurate trip can be recalculated when bad GPS rears its ugly head.  To take advantage of the "**Fix it"** button's super powers, just do the following after saving a run: - Tap into the Map of your trip - Press **Fix GPS** in the top right-hand corner *\*Note: This feature is only applicable to activities tracked on your phone with Runkeeper. It cannot be used for Apple Watch standalone activities or activities synced from third-party apps.* ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393739451789-1.png?width=340&height=736&name=support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393739451789-1.png)![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393744346509-1.png?width=340&height=736&name=support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393744346509-1.png) - Pressing the "**Fix it" button** will return a recalculated trip that should be more accurate - After reviewing the Map and corresponding stats– tap **Yes, Update GPS** if everything looks correct - The app will prompt you again just to make sure you want to save the corrected information ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393744533005-1.png?width=340&height=736&name=support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393744533005-1.png)![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393744540813-1.png?width=340&height=736&name=support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments12393744540813-1.png) **Important Notes:** - *The Fix It Button can only be used once and will not appear again after being utilized.* - *The changes can not be reverted by the user after being changed.* - *Trips synced from third party apps won't work with the Fix It Button. Only trips tracked on the phone can be corrected with the Fix It Button.* **How accurate is the "Fix it" button?** Although we can't guarantee the "Fix it" button will correct your GPS with 100% accuracy, it should give you a better representation of what was actually tracked.   *\*Have more questions?
