Hi ​@Levanima, would the “correct distance” feature fix this? Try that - just note, it's only on the web version of Strava, not in the mobile app.

Thanks, Jana.  I don’t care so much about the distance as the route itself.   Points like the one below should be pretty easy to detect and eliminate automatically.  It’s a sudden 500ft jump in elevation and over a mile of distance in 1/10th of a second.  Even the pace graph shows 1:43 minute miles.   At the least I’d like to be able to delete the bogus point and have it stitch the ones on each side together.

I don’t think such a feature will come anytime soon if at all. You would be better advised to optimize the GPS reception of your recording device. Help articles for that are:

or

That’s rather disappointing.  Is the expectation that I hold my phone out in my upraised hand?  :)   I’d hope that I’d be able to walk around town with phone in my pocket. 

Unless I’m missing something it seems like both suggestions would pretty easy feature to implement - maybe a days worth of dev work and another one or two for testing:

1. Detect the anomalies automatically and replace by merging the two nearest points.  Alternatively if one is concerned about false positive, make them optional suggests in the summary

or:

2. Allow the user to select points and remove them, merging the two nearest point

You could create an idea about that in the ideas section https://communityhub.strava.com/ideas. But I fear that won’t help you now or in the near future to get better recordings because it’s rather seldom that an idea gets implemented. That doesn’t depend on what you think is easy or not (as outsiders we shouldn’t presume anyway).

If you have exhausted all the possibilities to optimize the reception of your phone then unfortunately your phone isn’t the correct tool for recording walks. Only better hardware regarding GPS can help you, be it another phone or dedicated sports watches.
