No, you typically do not need to double the steps on your pedometer. Pedometers are designed to accurately count each step as you walk or run. However, if you are using a device that counts both steps and other movements, ensure that it is set correctly to avoid miscounting. Always refer to the device's manual for specific instructions on its use.
It depends a lot on what "stride length" the pedometer is calibrated for - it varies a lot.
The word 'pedometer' is a noun, a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for an instrument for estimating the distance traveled on foot by recording the number of steps taken; a word for a thing.
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.
A pedometer tracks the number of steps a person takes and converts that count into distance based on a pre-set stride length. When you walk, the device detects each step using mechanical or electronic sensors. By multiplying the total number of steps by the average stride length (typically around 2.5 feet for adults), the pedometer calculates the distance traveled, displaying it in miles or kilometers. This allows users to monitor their physical activity effectively.
Pedometers contain motion sensors to help count steps. For each step that is taken, the pedometer shakes a tiny bit with the movement of the walker's body. This movement is registered as a step.

It is an odometer.
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.

Pedometer
A pedometer
A conjunction of the roots ped meaning "foot" and meter meaning "measure", a pedometer measures how many steps a person has taken.
Multiply by your average step length in miles.
It is a pedometer.
Assuming 2000 steps per mile: 2,880,0000 steps. Or, if you must, 1200 steps per kilometer = the same # of steps.
Pedometers count a person's steps by detecting the motion of his or her hips as they walk. Those that convert the steps into a distance walked (usually in kilometres of miles) need to individually calibrated to the walker to give an accurate measurement.
