For My Tracks to work, your phone needs to be in line-of-sight contact with the GPS satellites orbiting the earth. If line-of-sight is obstructed by trees, buildings or canyon walls, you may not get an accurate fix. If you see the message Waiting for a better GPS fix, wait a minute or two. If your device does not achieve a fix, move to an area clear of obstructions and try again.
