Rides don’t count
A bumpy road shakes your phone the way steps do. Nivio holds those steps back until you walk again.
2,110steps
Example: 1,240 steps on a morning walk, none counted during the vehicle ride, then 870 more on a walk at the shops, for 2,110 steps.
Your phone senses the vehicle, and during a walk Nivio checks your GPS speed too.
The walk pauses and the shaking is set aside, even the seconds before the ride was noticed. A slow, bumpy ride can still add a few.
Step off and your steps count again. A ride over two minutes ends the walk.
How a walk works
With Auto walk on, just walk: about 40 steps in, the walk starts by itself.
Your pace tells walking from running. Stop for tea and the clock rests.
About 10 still minutes save the walk to your week. Walks under 3 minutes aren’t kept, but their steps still count.
