| Re: My Tracks always Show: "Waiting for a better GPS fix. Make sure the sky is visible." | Cherylc92 | 4/3/12 6:16 AM | I'm having the same issues with a Motorola Photon.

| Re: My Tracks always Show: "Waiting for a better GPS fix. Make sure the sky is visible." | RWC1493 | 6/5/12 5:39 PM | I downloaded GPS Status, which finds the satellites much quicker, so I open it first until it does, then My Tracks works. |
