Hi there I have a charge 3 and I’m going for a run today and I’m not taking my phone when I run but I have my charge on me! Will my tracker still sync my running onto my dashboard with the maps? 

And how do I turn on my GPS?

Unfortunately you won't get a map. It needs GPS for this and the Charge 3 uses your phone's GPS rather than having it built in. So, no phone, no GPS, no map.

 

It will still track your run but the distance will be calculated from your step count and your stride length rather than using GPS.
