Duplicate tracking question And suggestion

I’ve read that it won’t do duplicates if the activity starts at exactly the same time, but that’s virtually impossible to do when using two trackers. I use one for backup. I start one and then moments later start the next one. On my map, every track has two lines which is not objectionable, but I just want to make sure that the mileage is not being counted twice in the city map of how many miles walked.

Please confirm if the mileage is only being counted once.

As a suggestion, maybe it should change to all activities that start within one minute of each other won’t be recorded as duplicates.

I’d recommend pausing your backup tracker in your settings page.

Stats are based on activities that progress streets. If you have duplicate activities, you likely have one that has all the progress stats & another that has 0 progressed / 0 completed. So only the one activity’s stats count. If the progress is somehow split between the two, then both would count.

Have you ever needed the backup?

Yes, I definitely need the backup. the map my fitness app or the Garmin have failed to track more than once. Usually it’s an app freezing or the watch freezing. As long as it’s not doubling the miles so the miles covered figure is correct, that’s all I really care about. Sounds like that’s the case so good to go.
