[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 627409, member: 199791"] I remember a few years back, Walkers (the snack food makers) gave away free pedometers, and I got one too, but it was absolutely useless!!! My walk was too smooth for it to work (it used a weight to pull down a lever which activated the switch that notched up the count), you have to walk a silly bouncy up and down walk for the cheapo ones to work, you could have a target set, and end up walking 100s more steps than the pedometer has actually counted!!! :eek: Didn't actually do anything regarding walking distances though, you'd have to measure each stride to gauge how far you've walked, or step in the same length for the pedometer to be of any use!!! :-rofl2 I just use GoogleEarth and an online calculator, I plot the path I walked or cycled, then export that data to this site, and it tells me the distances I went... :D I would post the link, but I have that on my other laptop, and I can't be bothered going to get that out... :p There's plenty out there... :) [/QUOTE]
