Distance tracking with assisted GPS

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

hi

 

has anybody else noticed that the assisted GPS tracking looks like it’s 10% out eg it’s saying you’ve done more than you have?  I’ve tracked my Versa 2 and the wif’s Alta HR and they both show the same issue across different iPhones.  I’ve measured the distance using my Apple series 5 Watch and my Garmin vivoactive 4 And both of those two are showing consistent distance with each other. In a 6 mile walk there’s half a mile difference between the Fitbit devices and those????

 

I’ve done those over various days and various walks and the difference is consistent e.g. about 10%

it makes me question using the Fitbit devices and I don’t know if it’s just me not understanding the data or what each device is doing?

 

help please :’(

Same here - my husband’s Charge 2 and phone app alone match the odometer reading on my car over the same course, while my phone app shows nearly one extra mile for every five miles traversed.
