Walking indoor

Hello all! I have started excercise also indoors on walking treadmill, but I have a problem how to track this activity. I have tried Walking indoor, running indoor, BF indoor, I've tried to make a new excercise... Everytime the app tracks time, heart rate, GPS is off, but after an hour it does not take number of steps * step length, but weired 0.2km walked distance (which seems to be taken from not properly turned off GPS)... When then information is taken to third party app (for example strava or runtastic), there is no possibility to change the walked distance (and pace calculated from it) and I can'treally track my progress. How should I set the app properties or which app is recommend for indoor walking showing the correct walked distance?
Thank you!

    What workout setting did you use? I tried that tonight on my Venu and had some weird run/walk setting on there (and two others) that was not there before when I first got my Venu. I had to use the Walk Indoor setting for my workout.

    The first time you use the treadmill activity for 1.5 KM or 1 mile, it will ask you to calibrate your watch to the treadmill distance and then the watch should have a reasonable idea about stride length.

    After the first time, you can press the 3 dots in the red section of the display and it will give you an option to calibrate again. In my experience though, I find that changing shoes, pace, or the incline tends to throw the calibration off. It's still a pretty good estimate.
