My blaze counts driving as steps, is there a driving mode or something I can do? For work I can be driving one minute and walking/moving the next

A warm welcome to the Community @Brunty. No, there isn't any driving mode but you can negate those extra steps by manually logging the activity "Driving". To manually log this activity, you just need to do the following from a computer:

 

1. Go to the Activities page by clicking Log at the top of your dashboard, then click Activities. 
2. Under Log Activities, click a common activity or search for your activity in the search box. 
3. Select your activity from the search results. If the activity is not in our system, you have the option to create your own activity by clicking the Create custom activity text that will appear below the search field. 
4. Enter the duration, distance (if applicable), and start time of your activity. You have the option to manually enter the number of calories burned here if you'd like to. 
5. Click Log Activity. Your activity will now be visible and editable in the Logged Activities area.

 

Or you can also download the app "DriveBit" which will automatically log this activity for you.

 

I hope this helps, let me know the outcome. Woman Happy

I feel that there should be a driving mode on an update asap. At the end of the day we don't all work in offices all day so driving is part of what we do. I'm a tree surgeon and drive to various locations throughout the day and Fitbit picks driving up which is frustrating.

Hey there @n1kko! Thanks for your feedback, I totally agree with you about everyone has different activities. We have the Feature Suggestions board, so you can make your voice heard you can vote for these ideas Driving Shortcut on the fitbit blaze and Add "Driving Mode" Feature to avoid erroneous steps/floors

 

Those suggestions are viewed by our engineers and developers. 

 

Hope this helps! Robot Happy
