Questions

How do you work out the steps?

We divide the distance by the length of one step. An average adult step is about 73 cm. With your height, we use 41.5% of it instead.

Is it the walking route or the road?

Road routes use the main road distance.

Can I add my own route?

Yes. Type any distance in kilometres and you get the steps straight away.
