An app on my cell phone would act like I walked all the way across the parking lot when I stayed in my apartment, so I couldn't count on it.

you'd be surprised how many steps you can rack up just walking around the house or apartment, it's more than you think.

When I started on the site I didn't have a pedometer. I ONLY tracked my miles on weekends or sometimes during the week when I went for hikes. I'd slap on the My Tracks app and use that.

I really had no idea how many miles I was missing during the week until I got a pedometer half way through the year. It turns out that I easily walk a mile every day at work with the long walks to and from the parking lot, across the building, up and down the stairs, through the parking lot for lunch. That's an easy minimum of 5 miles per week that feels like I've done nothing for it.

It said I walked through the walls into the parking lot and over by another building. Nobody had tried to bulldoze my apartment, so I could do that. =P

That is what I used that told me that I walked through walls. Maybe it will work now.

I actually haven't used it much since I got my pedometer. When I was in the downtown area with lots of bldgs the trail seemed to be crazier so it may be that the bldgs were interfering with it. I never had a problem with out on the trail and when I checked it against my pedometer and the actual mileage measured down a road, all of them came out to be almost identical.
