Hello Community,

 

I just purchased a Blaze and it's great, but I am a construction delivery driver so I am in and out of the truck a lot and up, down, and tying down equipment a lot. My question is, how do I stop it from counting driving as steps and stair's? I seen the activity log and tried that but sometimes I only drive for 15 min and stop again but that 15 it counted 200 steps.

When its bumpy it will count steps.

 

A lot of people use Drivebit an it will get rid of the steps. But I don't really think it will work for you as much as you stop and then go. You would be turning it on and off all the time.

 

Maybe get a zip for work and switch off to the wrist model other times?

Hey there @CaseyMercer, welcome to the Community and @WendyB thanks for stopping by.

 

As our friend recommended, I also suggest using the DriveBit app to log this information and reduce the amount of information your tracker registered while driving. Other option is to use your Blaze pebble inside of a pocket, have you tried it? If you haven't, I recommend trying and check if your information recorded improves.

 

Let me know the outcome. Woman Happy
