Biped Phil Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I sailed 7.5 miles according to Google Maps. Meanwhile, the Solowheel app's odometer clocked 13.0 miles! The app isn't misrepresenting km as miles, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Maybe kinda, The rest of the world thinks it has converted to metric when it is really still in translation. Look more closely. It might say mileage because they don’t have a metric name for milage. You still have to look at the mph or km/h after the number. This is just a guess on my observation on the other apps.

Biped Phil Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 The app labels it: "nnn.n miles". But the earth is not moving under my feet at the rate the Solowheel app says it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 They say that KingSong is off by 25% . When compared to the GotWay I would say they are correct. Your numbers suggest suggest being off by 43%. That is pretty bad and very close to the metric convention. So you might be right. It would not be the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
