2nd day bike riding using my Fitbit. Activity & distance not recording properly. Rude today was 4.76 miles (using an App on my phone to compare)... Fitbit listed activity as 1.6 miles.

Same problem yesterday

Hello @Carolinadreamin, thanks for joining the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. Smiley Happy

 

When you're cycling, do you set the exercise mode on your Charge 2 first or is the activity auto-recognized by the tracker? Which other app are you using to compare the distance? Have you restarted your tracker lately? If so, please reply to me with a screenshot of the exercise in the Fitbit app so I can take a better look at it. 

 

I hope you have a great day, I'll be waiting for your reply. Smiley Wink

My Alta HR is set to"auto-recognize". I used "Map my Walk" which auto recognizes biking-and I have my tire size entered in so calculations are more accurate.
I will turn off my Alta HR & try again.
Twice it measured a fraction of the time we were biking.
