Step counting while driving

Former Member over 4 years ago

My garmin venu keep counting steps even while driving and that completely sucks. Spending this much amount on a watch and sortware/hardware is not optimized for it. Anything can be done about it to stop this.

Hi, I am having the same issue. I was sitting in the car, and the distance I traveled was counted as steps. (OMG!) When I was driving in highway, Garmin even detected in as FLOORS I climb! In hours I climbed 125 stairs. How ridiculous!

This seems to be a problem for many of the Garmins. I just got a Venu 2 last week and it didn't count all the floors it walked in the house. I go up and down the stairs a lot. Today I played 9 holes of golf and as I rode in the cart I got credit for 70 floors climbed. Garmin really needs to fix this. I spent a lot on a watch to help me see if I meet my goals and it just randomly decides if it wants to count floors. Does anyone from Garmin read these?
