@SunsetRunner Thanks for stopping by! 

 

How did you record this distance? Only with your tracker or using your phone's GPS chip? Your device uses the number of steps and stride length to calculate the distance. You can improve the accuracy by measuring and logging your stride length. Feel free to use these instructions to do this. If you were using the phone then please check these tips here.

 

Hope this helps.
