InReach Explorer Trip Info:Trip Distance vs Share Page Dist. Traveled

I have had my InReach Explorer for just about a year now and use it frequently. I continue to have a large discrepancy between the Trip Distance in the Trip Info on the device and that shown as Dist. Traveled on share.delorme.com. For example, my last track on the device shows 10.6 miles yet the share page shows 7.76 miles. The two data sources rarely are even close to one another with the device mileage always being higher.

Which is correct? Why do they not agree?

Okay I think I understand most of what has been discussed. (disclaimer: I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night)

Given my track intervals set at 1 and 10 minutes, are my following assumptions correct?

1) The distance recorded on the InReach will most often be more accurate that what is reported on the website for a given track.

2) The distance recorded on the InReach will close to, or less than, the actual distance traveled, but it would be unlikely to ever be greater.

Or am I over simplifying?

Not over simplifying. I think that you have made the most likely characterization.
