I walked for 95 minutes at an average pace of 14:58. Completed 6.34 miles. Map my walk says I burned 855 calories. How accurate is this burn? Any feedback appreciated.

    Seems inflated, but without knowing your resting burn, it's anybody's guess. A reasonable net burn for walking is 0.3 x bodyweight-in-lbs x miles. So, if you weight 450 pounds, 855 calories is reasonable. Otherwise, may want to recalculate...

    I know when I run and use my HRM, Map My Run was always slightly less.

    Apps like that make it very difficult. On average when I really run at about 11 or 10 mph I burn about 100 cals per mile when the treadmill says something different I log less calories burned

    I have Map My Fitness and if I remember correctly it doesn't have any setting to setup your your user profile (Age, Height, Weight, Etc.) It will link to Polar chest strap is what I would recommend. I just got the H7 recently and like it.
