post #19 'still does count too many steps from just arm movement'

Would taking a GPS position and verifiying has 'actually moved' from last reading help eliminate accelerometer movement attributed to arm waving?

GPS would help of course. But that would need a GPS fix.
Annoying to get this for each walk and impossible indoors.

I was thinking to check forward movement of the body, but that will get too complicated for me very soon.

I am satisfied with what I got now, I just have to find the right settings for me.

Currently I am testing:
- 20 steps in 20 seconds
- Active resets every 30 seconds.
But I will never be able to filter out false steps when doing a lot of arm movement.
But honestly, all arm-worn pedometers do count those.
I just did not want to have 3000 steps just standing at my desk working.
