The last 3 months my walks have been monitored Inaccurately.  They will show that I walked an old route, but then often I will click on the route and it will show accurate walk only after clicking on it.  Other times it shows me 4 miles away on a walk I did 3 months ago.

 

Runkeeper is accurate but Fitbit is not and it's not even one year old.  It's my 3rd Fitbit and the 1st one that isn't working right.

 

If Runkeeper is accurate, Fitbit should be as well.

It also depends on other things. Are you holding on to something? Needs to see the arms swinging.
