Fitbit stops tracking and Gives Wrong Distance

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

I went for a walk today of around 5 miles.  My Garmin Etrex20 gave the distance as 5.64 miles.  When I stopped my Fitbit charge 4 it said I had done 6.48 miles.  So I exported the TCX file and converted to GPX.  That only gave 4.84 miles.  However the track stopped before the end of the walk.  I estimate the missing piece of track was about 1.19 miles so that would give 6.03 miles.  Which is still not very consistent with the Garmin.  I have had this before when I do longish walks say 5 -7 miles it doesn't track the distance very well compared to the Garmin.  I expect some difference for my friend with another Garmin Etrex30 usually differs by say .01 or 02 of a mile.  Any ideas?  And why should the FitBit stop tracking i was in open country.  So it couldn't have lost the signal?
