Inaccurate Distance when using the walk function.

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

When I use the Walk function, it seems to be inaccurate by ~25%, the walk in question is ~3.8 km (steps ~4,200), which the old Charge 4 had no issues with, however, the Charge 5 only records 2.9km (steps ~3,500).
I've checked the distance on Google Maps / Drove the route. 

Is this a common issue? 

Can it be Fixed?

Have you checked the map of your activity? Is it very rough and inaccurate?

I find the GPS on the Charge 5 itself is quite poor, sometimes to the point of it being unusable. It's better to use your phone's GPS by tracking the activity from the app.
