All of a sudden my Blaze is a mile of what my RunTracker app says. I ran my 3 mile route today, I've run it may time and had no issues with my Blaze but today it was wrong. I like backed on my workouts and the past few runs have been short by a mile as well. Not sure why since I've changed nothing. Any ideas?IMG_6855.JPGIMG_6856.PNG

I believe I know what caused it, for me at least.  I changed my stride to manual in an attempt to correct the small distance issue i was having between my iwatch Nike+ and my Fitbit,  That had no effect so I changed my stride back to automatic and it has been a problem every since.

Hi, @Emily67, I think something different may be going on with your issue, as Windows Phones do not use the "Connected GPS" feature with the Blaze.  You might want to start a new post in the Wndows forum stating exactly what you are seeing (with screen shots if possible) and what problem you are having.  You might be able to get better help there.

 

If other Windows phone users are also having similar problems then the team can be made aware.

My run/walk yesterday is now showing correct total miles.  First time in a month.  Now the problem is the distance for it is incorrect throughout the run/walk.  It show a total of 7.1 miles but the actual distance is only 6.1 miles.  Fitbit distance measurement has been getting worse for a very long time now.  I travel the exact same course each day.  I know where the half mile and mile splits are but in the last few months they are getting shorter and shorter.  My pace is also off showing almost a minute faster that it actually is.  FitBit needs to work on this Issue Next!!    Thanks.
