Device counting steps when driving

[dhodgesnvl]

We live out in the boonies and love to walk.  The FitBit app tracks steps well but when I get on the plow to clear snow that gets added as steps.  It adds up to over 10,000 steps I didn't actually walk some days.  Help?

Hello @dhodgesnvl, welcome to the Community Forums! 

Thanks for your post and the details that were shared on it. Let me share with you that your device has been tested against driving and riding in buses, trains, and other public transportation and shouldn’t add steps when you’re traveling under normal conditions. On bumpy roads or in a car with a stiff transmission your device may add some steps. For most users, the number of extra steps added when driving isn’t significant when compared to your overall stats. If you want to remove the steps from your daily total, manually log the driving activity for the time you were in a vehicle. For more information see How do I edit or delete Fitbit data and activities? 

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks for your reply.  It's not a few steps.  If I walk 10,000 steps and then plow for 3.5 miles it adds ALL 3.5 miles in steps.
