My maps appear to have gone all zigzaggy. This makes the distance longer. I have turned my phone and location on and off. I doesn’t seem to have made a difference. Any other ideas? Thank you.

Hi
it sounds like for whatever reason, the gps in your phone isn't working very well. Here's an article that lists some possible reasons: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216917707-Bad-GPS-Data
You might want to double check that your phone isn't in a lower saving mode, that Strava is allowed to run in the background and that it's allowed to access location always. But to be honest for the best results, if gps accuracy is important for you, a multi-band gps watch is a more reliable choice than a phone.
