Not sure why I never researched this issue until last night. After reading yours and Lima's posts I did and I have a couple of things to try later today that might solve this problem.
I have no issue with my map, it uses Google earth and is accurate.
Actually, everything I pay attention to is either accurate or seems accurate. I use "seems" because I have no clue if "skeletal muscle" is or not and I don't care enough to figure it out.
I bought an oximeter that my doctor suggested just to compare the readings with my watch and they always match perfectly or off by 1 on the blood oxygen and perfect on bpm.
I use an excel spreadsheet to record all of my walks. I started this with my first step counter just to check its accuracy. I just continue because It's part of my daily routine now and the steps on my walks couldn't be more accurate. It's a litte less accurate doing stuff around the house but what's 200-300 steps off on 15,000?
All that matters in the end is that it works for you. But I think you understand why the need for me to have accurate mileage is the most important for me? Although I guess if it’s measuring short, I’d be better prepared for my long runs
