Hi

 

I've noticed that the GPS data recorded by the Ionic, is extremely inaccurate, even when i have stood still and got the connected sign on my ionic the run length is invariably wrong by at least 10% i.e. half a mile on a 5 mile run which is pretty poor. This is particularly annoying as it then is in correctable for Strava. Can you make at least possible to edit the route for Ionic to then upload?

 

I'm pretty annoyed with the Fitbit  functuctionality and business model. The fact they are bringing out a brand new watch straight after the ionic, without even fixing any of the issues with the Ionic is pretty dreadful. I'm pretty tempted to throw in the towel and get a proper sports watch, Fitbit promised the moon but its so inaccurate!
