Just went running around Lake Merced in the city. According to Google Maps the lake is approximately 4.5 miles. I wanted to test out the Jawbone UP to see if it was close to it. As you can see from the photo above .. it took about 1 hour and 5 minutes to run/walk the perimeter .. with 4.74 miles recorded. I wore my Jawbone UP on my non dominate arm this time. I used the Workout with GPS feature in the UP app ... but when I press the map button on top .. it only shows the map of the world. I'm not sure if its the application because it did say that there was an upload error.
Since I used the UP application to track my workout .. I could not use the Body Media app to track the actual distance and calories burned. But I just uploaded the information to my account .. and I pinpointed the workout and it said I approximately burned 743 calories. Where as the UP recorded 721 calories burned.
I wish the GPS function of the UP app will start working .. perhaps its a glitch on the system right now since today is the actual day that the UP goes on sale.
There have been a lot of people who came to the site and read about my Day 1 reveal .. I hope this helps with your decision in any way .. I am still liking the UP so far .. the vibrate function of the alarm clock works .. it buzzes me and wakes me up .. Oh how I wish it had a snooze button! ...
Keep Your Head Up!

I haven't had any problems with the GPS function of the app. I'd try deleting the app and reinstalling.
