Edit distance goal for Earth badge to match actual radius

I just received this Earth Badge notification, but what it states is incorrect. It says you have walked as far as it would take to reach the center of the Earth - 7900 miles. However, this shows confusion between diameter and radius. The diameter of the Earth is about 7900 miles, but the radius is half that. Walking 7900 miles is equivalent to walking the distance to the center of the Earth and back (or to the center and out the other side), not walking to the center of the Earth. Please modify appropriately. As a geologist, I appreciate that at least fitbit recognizes the Earth is spheroidal and not flat, so thanks for that!

Hi @Geologist1 that's interesting and I hope Fitbit can change that eventually to read correctly. Congrats on your accomplishment! I actually have an extended family member who insists the Earth is flat.

my grandfather, who was born in Sweden told me that the Earth was square, just like my head.

 

I loved my grandfather, and I know he would not have lied to me!!!!?
