Distance Travelled Discrepancy

Now that it's nicer out, I'm doing a lot of jogging to max my ideal top 6 team. I never actually kept track of how far I went until recently. I went for an 8km run and a 10km run this week (on a straight path) and only 2km and 3km were counted toward my buddy respectively.
After checking my phone to hatch my eggs and noticing not even my 5km's were close to hatching, I was kind of choked.
Does anyone else have this problem or is it my phone

without go plus the distance is so inaccurate unless you go in a straight line most the time

I run all the time and yes i only get about half or less of my egg distance. I thought the go plus would help but it didn't. It helps conserve battery but distance isn't better. I thunk gps signal had to be strong and you have to go slow for it to track distance accurately.

You also might be running too fast.
Isn't there something like a 5mph cap on speed it accepts as "walking" for egg and buddy distance.

if your fit it isn't that hard to run over 10.5 km/hour it's a stupidly low speed cap

Wasn't the speed cap increased for that reason a couple months back? I think the distance tracking is just not accurate. A few updates ago, the did something that made it less accurate.

Yup, same problem here. Have ordered a Pogo plus, so I'm disappointed to read here that it doesn't help. An Apple Watch may be the only solution and that is stupidly expensive!
