I asked a family member with a car to drive the route and measure it that way;
the car odometer is as acurate as you can get, so i know to within .09 miles
how far that one route is. That gave me an accurate distance against which to
compare different pedometer apps, and the one I tried yesterday was way off the
mark. Once I find one that is accurate for the route whose length I already
know, I can trust it to measure other routes I don't know.
