endomondo tends to measure my runs about 4% shorter than mapmyrun.

Anyone know which is (more) correct? I guess it could be that mapmyrun presumably measures the centre line of the roads whereas I am on pavements and cutting corners etc.

It can often depend on the measurement and recording interval of the GPS receiver, especially if it is a route with lots of tight corners.

It's not what you're asking but I find GMAPS pedometer and my garmin are very close on distances. Certainly less than 1%.
