I have had my Versa lite about 4 months now and it is no longer tracking my gps accurately. I regularly take a lunchtime walk which is 2.4 miles recorded on map my walk but yet my fitbit only tracks it at 1.86 miles. also records my pace speed at a lot less than it actually is. I am finding this quite frustrating as only had it a short time. Any thoughts or tips for a fitbit newbie. Thanks

@Amazon1100 I believe it is because Versa uses both GPS and your stride length to estimate the distance.It does not rely solely on connected GPS. Try adjusting your stride length in the settings in the fitbit mobile app.
