You entered the wrong circumference number into the computer. Check it against a mile marker on the road or trail.

Edit:
Make sure that it is reading miles not km 12 miles = 19.35 km You change it during the set up.

Well, one or the other is wrong.
That large an error suggests your odometer is set wrong. More than likely, you have it set for km rather than miles. Consult the instruction sheet that came with it.

Silverbullet and John M have hit the nail on head. Your computer is reading in kilometers, not miles

12 miles and 19 kilometres is the same distance. My guess is that your computer is set to kilometres/kph.
