Z5 compact GPS slow

Hi all,

my Z5 Compact, compared with Samsung S3, LG G4, Galaxy Note, iPhone, has a "slow refresh" of GPS.

I use it for running (with Runtastic) and my gps track It is always shorter than the other (4/5%). 

I noticed that in bends the track is cut as if the refresh signal is too slow...

I hope I explained myself.

Can i fix it? Or verify something?

Thanks to all

Thanks for your message.

Can you try runtastic?

This is my track with Samsung S3:

This is with my new Z5 Compact:

As you can see, the Z5 is really more inaccurate...

I tried StatusGPS app, and reset it, without success. I made 5 sessions with my Z5, all sessions are inaccurate.

Also the graph of pace is absolute inaccurate...

S3 Graph:

Z5 Compact Graph:

The track is the same...

Can you help me?

Thanks

Just because one app work with a phone it doesn't mean it will work with other phones, contact the app developers.
