Thank you PEQ!! Lol do you know what the problem was?
I was wearing it on my buttcheek pocket instead of side of
waste!Geeeesh do I feel blonde,but my hand would bump into it
and it pops off oh well I will figure something out!Thanks Tammy:)
 
Watch out for the reset

I was wearing mine on my belt on the side, but when I reached into my pocket to get something, it would reset. So, I have moved it onto my pocket. That way, when I reach for something in my pocket, then I am going in behind the pedometer.
 
The most accurate way to figure the distance you went, is once you get home to map it out on google maps, expedia, mapquest, etc. That will tell you within 0.1 miles of accuracy.
 
Distances

The problem with using google maps, mapquest, etc. is that you can't use it to measure your walking while at work, in the house, going to the neighbor's house, etc. If you were going down the street, then that may be beneficial.
 
Thanks every1 and that's not a bad ideal "IMA" I was thinking
of driving my route but your way is cheaper(lol gas prices)Tammy:)
 
I found that if I had my pedometer in the wrong place on my belt I would get a bad reading (much further than I had actually walked). Maybe it was a bit of a `bounce' effect causing it to over measure. The best place I found was on my belt just about half way between my hip bone and belly button.

I had a hard time working out stride length, so I measured a distance I was walking (by driving it in my car :) ) and then adjusted my pedometer until it gave the same reading. I later confirmed the distance with a GPS and it was very close.
