Connected GPS distance very wrong!

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Went out for a run yesterday morning with my Blaze, I also wore my garmin as I had charged it and wanted to check it worked. They showed a difference of a mile. My Garmin read 6 miles and my Blaze 7 miles. I got home and checked via Map My Run and the Garmin was correct. 

 

I'm pretty sure the Blaze was connected to my GPS, as I always run with my phone anyway. I expect some discrepancy but not this amount.

Welcome to the Community Forums @Taffygirl78! 🙂

 

I'm sorry that the distance for your run seems not to be accurate 😕

 

I can recommend restarting your phone in this situation as the GPS information for the activity log will be given by it. Once you've restarted your phone, if you'd like, just to make sure, you can try to set up your Blaze as a new device. For this, go to the Account section at the top right corner on the Fitbit app and select the option that says "Set up a new device". Follow the on-screen instructions and once you're done, your tracker should be syncing without a problem.

 

Try it out again after doing this and see how it goes!
