@Dan-PNW   Consumer grade GPS doesn't give pinpoint accuracy.  With good weather conditions and few obstructions (buildings, trees, etc.), good GPS accuracy is a radius of 3-16 ft.  You will never get identical measurements for identical walks.

I understand the inaccuracy of gps measurements. What I don’t understand is
daily exercise records 2.7 miles in 45 minutes but on daily distance only
records 0.88 miles on same day.

@Dan-PNW   I’m sorry, but I completely misread your post.  Are there map errors?
