if u are a member u get to see real stats like mph lol, and i can see their is a couple of discrepencies on the walk from reality, but all in i think it a useful tool for personal use. today was quite heavy as well compared to mon/tue. when i go over my time ill give my manager access just to that days walk as evidence lol.

I do a delivery on a Monday and I've gone back to my old phone which has a pedometer on it.

I walked 9 miles on Monday and I got a blister :sad:
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

until today the pedometer was not enabled on the software, and i was even more dubious of just the satellite trackings statistics, now with the pedometer on and sat tracking it gotta be close.

1hr 39min :shock: Wish I had a duty like that
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

todays output looks like its more realistic with pedometer helping the output, monday and tuesday were extremely light, i have forgot to start it till ive done a quarter or half the walk on several days also.

mondays figures are missing about 80 houses and a block of flats by the looks where the software was paused on accident.


i am a little surprised with the results really as today i started at 10.01 and ended at 12.45 i did pause the software at 1 point where i did have a fag but not 20 mins like this suggests. I dont think the manager would have a problem as i officially start at 9 but was in earlier didnt get to delivery till 10 and took 2 and half hrs to 3/4 for the walk thus i worked over the 4 hours i am paid for. its strange that since i dont use the car i seem to get it done quicker. :shhhhh

Yes, I thought there must be something wrong with the results, when it said that on one day, you had reached 48.5 Kmh! Either that, or you're training for the Olympics! :chuckle

The thing about using google earth is you wont get a true result cos you can add about another third onto your walk with all the drives and stairs and pathways up to the doors you have to goto which are off street . The longest I have done was 14 miles :crazy:

its got a pedometer installed as well so i assume it sort of takes an average of both, i do a lot of flats and up and down steps would obviously not be picked up via sattelite

You can actually measure right up to the door
