Walk Data

This section is for the fixed (daily recurring) walking distances. This includes office walking distances (see the end of the Comprehensive Guide for details) and walking distance to authorized dismounts.

If you know the walking distance in feet (ie an authorized dismount has already been measured) use the "Fixed Distance" entry. If you don't know the exact distance, approximate it by counting steps.

Fixed Steps: The total number of daily recurring steps. This includes office tasks like getting the scanner and authorized dismounts. If you know the actual distance in feet, then don't count the steps but use the "Fixed Distance" field instead.

Feet Per Step: How many feet you travel with one stride. 2.5 feet is a good approximation for a person of average (5'10") height. If you want a more exact figure: walk a mile, count your steps, divide 5280 / (number of steps)

Fixed Distance: Total daily recurring walked distance. This measurement is in feet.
