"Outdoor run" instead of elliptical for VO2Max? (alien.top)

Since I'm not a runner, and since my outdoor walks tend to be fairly gentle strolls rather than cardio training events, should I designate my daily elliptical workouts as "outdoor runs" in order to get a better estimate of VO2Max?

Workout needs GPS signal to measure the distance so it won't work indoors and running stationary. Maybe consider an outdoors walk workout and try to walk at a rapid pace for a while to measure VO2 max - from time to time.
