Welcome to the Forums @Wallywithwater4.

 

Let me help you in regards to the activity while driving.

 

It is important to mention that if you have not set the Fitbit to track GPS data then GPS information will not be used at all. As for why this happened, given the way the Fitbit tracks information, the movement of the car and the changes in air pressure could cause the steps and floors to be counted. 

 

It is possible to negate that information. You can click here to read more about how to do it. 

 

Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.
