Steps to Miles
Estimate miles from steps by entering stride length and step count.
Converting steps to miles
This conversion gives a quick estimate of miles covered based on steps and stride length. It is helpful for planning walking routes, comparing step goals to mapped distances, and translating wearable step counts into familiar distance units.
Accuracy depends on a consistent stride assumption. If you walk varying terrain or change pace, your effective stride length will vary. For better accuracy, measure stride under typical walking conditions and use that value in the calculator.
When to use GPS vs. step conversion
GPS tracking gives direct distance estimates and is preferred for mapped routes, while step conversion is convenient when you only have a pedometer count. Use both methods together to check and adjust stride estimates for more reliable long-term tracking.
