In the returned data what is the difference between "total" distance and "tracker" distance, and why would they ever be different?
[2] => Array
(
[activity] => total
[distance] => 17.26
)
[3] => Array
(
[activity] => tracker
[distance] => 16.67
)

@ljhardy Good question! Tracker distance is only the distance recorded by the tracker, while total should be manually logged distance + tracker distance. Say if I manually logged an activity for 3 miles (4.82 km) for a time period where I wasn't wearing my tracker, for distance it will show 'total' as 4.82 km and 'tracker' as 0. Hope that helps clarify.

Thanks Andrew. I didn't enter anything manually, BUT I did use a facilty to import an activity from Garmin. So, although the tracker was on and operating for the entire period, the distance calculated by the Garmin GPS was slightly farther than the distance calculated by the tracker, in my specific example. That makes sense, thanks!
