Blaze over counting distance

[Dawntx]

I connected my blaze to my phones GPS.  I went on a walk, and Blaze said my distance was 4.06, however I drove the same route, and used plotaroute.com to measure the route, and both said 3.2 miles.

I've read that calibrating my stride length won't matter when using GPS.  Is there something else I need to look at?  It consistently over states my distance.

Odometers aren't as accurate as you might think @Dawntx . Try a third reference, go to googlemaps, zoom to your location, left click and select "measure a distance" click a point on the map, then another, and another, etc until you link your route - a summary pops up for the distance when you close the route:

In this example it is a quarter mile around our town square.

If you are still a whole mile off you might contact customer service and let them know what you have uncovered.

I checked on Google maps and plotaroute.com and both of those were right at
3.2 also

Thanks, I have checked several locations, and they all indicate my Blaze is adding a mile to my distance.

I just contacted customer support.
