Jefferson did not invent the pedometer.
Jefferson used a pedometer in order to answer the question Newton asks in Principia regarding the weight of Earth; he did so by first developing a system of weights and measures using an astrolabe, metronome, one minute arc, standard weight, pendulum, pedometer and: a wooden rod. He replaced the metal rod with a wooden one in a pedometer in order to negate the error caused by magnetism and the interaction of the Earth's electromagnetic field with his.
If you read forums dedicated to the pedometer many people debate if he invented the pedometer or improved it. It's not either as he designed and conducted an experiment that correctly answers Newton question only Calvert erroneously received credit for what is a bad theory hence a bad answer. Nobody ever tested Calvert's theory and we did not start tracking magnetic north until 1831, five years after Jefferson's death, so he never came to know he had correctly weighed the Earth and so the mind as time itself is conscious but we are consciously aware...we're sapient not merely sentient. [You must use nature to prove a theory; predicting the movement of magnetic north, how and why it moves and so predicting its behavior, proves Jefferson's work.]
If you look there is a clock at Monticello in which Jefferson enshrined this universal truth - this universal mean - as the clock is seemingly built incorrectly as the weight hit the floor but no, this is the correct answer as to the weight of time so as Jefferson couldn't fix what wasn't broken he solved his problem by cutting a hole in his floor. I'm told that clock is still at Monticello and in the Jefferson Encyclopedia you'll find a letter in which Jefferson writes, 'I think a wooden rod would solve my problem'.
His system of weights and measures can be found on the Congressional record as Jefferson initially set out to develop a universal currency and did but Congress couldn't comprehend his intellectual property [humans=an amount of energy= measured in properties, differentials and potential=potential or mass] so they rejected it...France tweaked his numbers by abadoning his oscillating rod method and came up with: the modern metric system, nno joke.
Most people credit Da Vinci with the pedometer. I've never seen it among his work but then, I've never seen all of his work, have I?
He wore the pedometer to see how far he had walked that day.
The Romans used an odometer calibrated to steps to measure distances for military and civil purposes, although technically this is not a step counter. The modern all-mechanical pedometer was introduced later to the Americans by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson obtained a unit from France, but it is not known if he modified the design, or introduced it to the US as is. Although this pedometer is widely attributed to Jefferson, proof is difficult to obtain as he never applied for any patents on any of his inventions. In 1780, Abraham-Louis Perrelet created the first pedometer, measuring the steps and distance while walking.
It depends a lot on what "stride length" the pedometer is calibrated for - it varies a lot.

An Omron Digital Pedometer Model HJ 112 can be bought from amazon for å£23.39. This pedometer has a seven day memory function and has some good customer reviews on amazon.
no, a pedometer measures footsteps
The pedometer has to be calibrated by the user
At school we measured the length of the playground with a pedometer.

It is an odometer.
A pedometer measures the distance walked in a given time. This works by the motion of the unit.

on your waist
It counts your steps
I can give you several sentences.Everyone at work bought a pedometer and measured how many steps we take every day.The pedometer can also measure how far you have walked.People should walk at least 10,000 steps every day, and a pedometer can show you if you reach this goal.
