I've got the Blaze and the GPS/mileage is way off.  I connect to my phone, I can see the map, but it's off by at least 1 mile.  I've verified that my step count is acurate.  Anyone else have this issue?  Any suggestions?

The GPS settings on your phone can rather dramatically affect the accuracy of the results of a run; that and some phones appear to be better than others when it comes to figuring out location.  The good news is once you get your phone set to properly track your location, the results of your workouts should be pretty accurate.

How do I know if my phone is set properly?  I have an Iphone 6.  I can't find any settings to change or update that.

I'm not an iPhone kinda guy so I couldn't say.  That said, I've seen dramatic differences in the results from some of the folks I run with when then make changes to their location settings on their phones.

 

Hopefully someone else here can offer some suggestions; either that or you can stop by your local Apple store and have them give you a hand.
