Just ran a 10k and my Fitbit measured 7.6 miles. Have noticed discrepancies prior stating my mileage was more than actual. Any advice on how to fix this. How can I check that it is measuring GPS?

Hi, @Ingasurfs! You're posting in the Flex forum. Do you have a Flex 2? If so, your Fitbit is not measuring via GPS, it's taking your steps and estimating distance based on number of steps and your stride length.
