Counts driving school bus as steps

[Bpfromhoover]

Help! My Surge counts when I drive my school bus as steps. Does anyone know how to change that? Thank you!!

Hi, @Bpfromhoover! If you're in a vehicle that vibrates a fair amount, it will register as steps. There are a couple ways around this. You can plug it into a charger while you are driving or you can create the manual activity "driving" to overwrite steps, calories, etc for the time period you are driving. Since you're driving on a regular basis, you might want to look into something like the 3rd party app "DriveBit," which you can activate while you're driving and will create that activity automatically for you. Best of luck!

Wow, I am ALSO a school bus driver with the same problem!
I am VERY new to this - how do you creatre a "manual activity"? Would that be on my desktop?
I will also look into "Drivebit".
Thanks SO much! (Now I know I'm not crazy and DIDN'T climb 32 floors today...)
