Why does the fitbit give a distance measurement different when walking as oppose to running? This is with the GPS turned on Built in GPS mode. 

Which is the most accurate of the GPS settings? Built in or Dynamic or would it be better to set it to Phone GPS?

@BIN1 , Nice to see you here. Thank you for your message. 

 

The distance shown, when running or walking, might be affected by your stride length. More about this and how to customize it, can be found here: 

 

Regarding the GPS. It all depends on you location, cell phone and tracker connectivity. 

I suggest you to have a look at this if you haven't done so: : 

 

Maybe other users might share with you their experiences with GPS. 

 

See you around.
