GPS Accuracy Compared to iPhone 6?

[spectre1989]

Hi all,

I recently switched from an iPhone 6 to a Pixel, and the distances reported by the Fitbit app I use to track my runs is consistently lower on the Pixel (about 250-300m per 5k). Does anyone know which number is likely to be more reliable?

Cheers
Joe

Did you do a calibration? Are your units agreeing between the Pixel and the Fit bit app?
FWIW the Fitbit App and Gaia don't agree on my Cellphone or agree with any of my Garmin GPS units.

How does one do a calibration?

Measure a known distance, number of your strides/meter and check to see if Fitbit's default is the same, if not manually change it.

Nice one, thanks!
