It's great to see you around @OleMarius. My recommendation here is to test this feature. Keep in mind that you need to be in an open area in order so your phone's GPS can work properly. 

 

Let me know how it goes. Woman Happy

@AlejandraFitbitHi... please edit the post and include your link...or are you calling the GPS a feature..

 

@OleMarius  I would try MobileRun first (Exercise, Tracking) to test the Phones GPS, then use the Blaze Connected GPS.

 

When testing the MobileRun if you pause during the test there is a good chance your tracking will not show on your Dashboard.  If this happens do another test and only tap the Finish etc. That works.
