I have a route that I walk measured by my car odometer and I phone GPS is 2.2 or 2.3 miles. Both are very close. My HR Charge measures it at 1.65. So I changed the stride length (after measuring it at a known distance) by almost 5" in Advanced Settings...and I synced it. On my same walk today the Fitbit read 1.8 so a little higher than the 1.65 but  not close to the 2.3 (I believe) actual miles. That still is a good sized gap. Any thoughts or help on this?

Multiply your first mention stride by 1.333.

Your stride changes a little every day so we want the average of your stride.
