How it works

Distance is calculated as walking minutes x walking speed (m/min). The default speed is 80 m/min, so a 10-minute walk is about 800 m (0.8 km).
80 m/min (4.8 km/h) is the standard walking pace used in Japanese real-estate advertising, where the 'X-minute walk' on a property listing is set by this rule. It is a handy reference for converting that listing time into an approximate distance.
Walking speed varies from person to person and with terrain, so this figure is only an estimate. Waiting at traffic lights, hills, stairs, and detours are not accounted for, and your real distance or travel time may differ.
You can change the walking speed freely. Around 60-70 m/min for a slow pace or 90-100 m/min for a brisk pace will give a result closer to your own walking style.
The estimated step count assumes about 0.7 m per step. Stride length differs between individuals, so treat the step count as a rough guide.
