Today I walked with a girlfriend who used a Garmin and also the Map my Run app. Our walk showed up at 10 miles on both her Garmin and the app. My Blaze only showed me at a little over 5 miles for the walk. What do I need to do to get the miles walked to be more accurate? I noticed in settings for my IPhone that my location services were not on continually so not sure if this will make a difference? I have also set my stride by walking at our track at the high school a few weeks ago to get it personalized.

GPS is only good when it really works. So of course this made a difference
