Exercises No longer being mapped

In the last several days I have noticed that my exercises are no longer being mapped.  I select the exercise, my tracker connects to my phone says "Let's Go" then when I get done and complete the exercise, it just shows up in my exercise list like I had never connected to the phone.  Is anyone else having this issue.  I have not yet received the most recent update, so I'm wondering if that may be part of the problem also.

It was the S5 that was the issue.  My S7 is now mapping my workouts correctly and the indicator on the Blaze is showing full power when connected to the phone, which was rarely happening with the S5.

Same problem.  With today's update, biking exercise instantly goes to the "Let's go" screen, with no "Connecting to phone", does not record distance or speed, and does not map the path.

Just to see of the Blaze still says Let's Go, kill the Fitbit app then start your exercise.

Only have 2 questions?

What phone and what type of exercise?

Problem solved. The Blaze update seems to have updated the 'Use phone GPS' setting to 'off'.

@Rich_Laue I'm using the Walk Exercise and my phone is a Samsung S5  Everything else about my exercises is synching correctly except for the map.

 

@Tarelgeth According to my Blaze the Use Phone GPS is set to on and my location tracking is set to on on the phone.

Did you see the let's go, then hit the start arrow?

Trying to understand if the Blaze found a connection to the phone's GPS.

Tyre one time I experienced the lack of a map, was when I paused the tracking and sent went inside a store. Resumed when I came out, but the map didn't show. 

Was it because I paused, or because the phone lossss the GPS while in a building? Haven't tested it enough yet to know.

@Rich_Laue Yes, I did see the lets go and hit the start arrow. I think it may have been an issue with my phone.  I upgraded to a Samsung S7 but the weather hasn't been good enough here yet to allow me to get out and try mapping with the new phone.  Will have to try that out and will post results.

 

Thanks,

Eagle.
