I have discovered that the trip computer odometer on my GPS (Garmin Extrex Vista H) can be off by a substantial amount, especially if I am walking slowly, like in hilly terrain. The distance reported in basecamp seems about right most often. I have had the numbers vary by 50% on occassion. I no longer use the trip odometer for much of anything. It also grossly overstates the amount of stationary time versus moving time.
