GPS does not work when I am using running apps

[princessromanov]

I will be so happy if someone could tell me what to do about my iPhone 4. When I try to use running trackers such as Runkeeper or Map my run the GPS is completly out. Runkeeper tells me I have gone 8 miles when I know the path I take is 3 miles. Same with all the other tracking apps I have tried. My maps and find my iPhone app still works okay. I have tried reloading the apps but still the same results

Checked location services?

Yes. It is on but the arrow isn't always showing in purple just grey

I've been having the exact same problem, but in a different country (South Korea) and with an older iphone (3G). I have tried everything from reinstalling the app to restoring the phone. My GPS works with maps, but no longer with Runkeeper. The GPS arrow is grey instead of purple.

@princessromanov did you ever solve the problem? if so, how? Thanks.
