=How does it work?=
** The 'actual distance' field is updated based on 'good data', and ignores data where the [[Footpod]] and the GPS are wildly different.
=Installation=
* Download the GUI executable from [http://fellrnr.com//Utilities/CalibrateFootPod/GarminFootpodCalibration.exe http://fellrnr.com//Utilities/CalibrateFootPod/GarminFootpodCalibration.exe]* Download the Beta, which supports FIT files from [http://fellrnr.com//Utilities/CalibrateFootPod/GarminFootpodCalibration_beta.exe http://fellrnr.com//Utilities/CalibrateFootPod/GarminFootpodCalibration_beta.exe]
* Check the executable for viruses ([[Trust No One]]!)
There is no further installation ;}
=Finding the Files=
This utility requires either a TCX or FIT file from the watch and there are various ways of finding the files.
