I recently got a Fitbit Charge 5 and have been comparing the walking distances it records and the MapMyRun app I've been using for years. This morning MMR recorded a walk of 5.27 miles, while the Fitbit indicated I walked 6.01 miles. That is quite a discrepancy. Both devices are connected to GPS and so I'm wondering why there is such a significant difference. The Fitbit has consistently recorded longer walks than MMR. Any ideas why this is?
