Hi, I'm new to this. Can I leave my phone at home when I run or cycle? Specifically, will my Blaze automatically download a map of my run/ride to the app when I get home?

 

I hope so!

 

Thanks,

Kelvin.

A warm welcome to the Community @Kelvc and @WendyB thanks for stopping by.

 

Regarding to your question, no, you won't be able to see a map if you leave your phone at home since the Blaze has GPS connected which works with your phone's GPS. You can go for a run or cycle without your phone and sync later but the map won't appear.

 

If you need anything else, let me know. Woman Wink

Welcome to the forums!

 

I'm sorry but no. Blaze uses connected GPS so you need the phone  to start it.
