Garmin Connect Daily Distance

Hi there,

I've noticed today that the overall distance travelled is waaay out. In the daily stats, it says it isolates out the distances from my timed activities from my daily steps, but I think its has to be adding them in again somewhere.
Its saying that in my 21,300 steps today, I've also achieved a whopping 27.5km distance. Im pretty sure my average stride length isn't 1.3 meters...

I've done two fairly short walks today, the first one being 2.4km, and the second 8.89km.
Garmin Connect is trying to tell me that not counting those two walks, I've also completed 16.16km in my daily stepping routine, which is absurd, as I just managed to make 10,000 steps before my walks.

Any ideas on how Garmin Connect is calculating total daily distance??

Cheers,
Andy

Add me to the list. as an example yesterday 92km bike ride, and a lazy day otherwise with about 5km walked for the day. I didn't hit my goal steps on my VAHR of 8453 but Connect shows me having covered 128.9km... Looking on the VAHR itself the distance was shown correctly at around 97km.

I have disabled MoveIQ and I'm doing another ride tomorrow so will see if this is part of the double up when connect crunches the data.

Whoops, even with MoveIQ disabled, MoveIQ events are still logged... Makes it hard to remove that from the equation. :(
