Connected GPS - Start my run on watch or phone app?

[richmix]

Hi all,

New to this. Went for a run last night and followed all the steps to track run through watch and connected phone with GPS.

Got the connection icon on watch, started run by pressing start on watch and half way through my run I checked the app on my phone which was still showing up as "start run"

I finished the run and after sybcing and looking in the exercise part of the app, it showed only half of my run on the map.

Questions: Do I need to press start on the app on my phone too?

Des the app need to be running and if so, should it not show the gps route I am running in the map?

Why has only half the run showed up on map.

Hope you can help!

Thanks

R

For the connected GPS to work, you want the Fitbit App ruining at least in the background. You can then stick the phone in a pocket, pouch, or wherever, as long as the phone is with you. Now the start snd stop of the tracking is done on the Blaze. The Blaze does the actual recording, the app just sends the GPS readings to th7e Blaze.
When you finished the run, was the Blaze still in the event tracking mode?

You also want to firm off the run tracking before synfing the Blaze.

Thanks. Will try again tonight

It was the second half of my run which was tracked. Strange!

Cheers for your help, will report back after run!
