Went on holidays took the fitbit and went on a ride,  I wanted to track my progress about 30 min into my ride the speed and distance was not recording, I then had a message saying the GPS was not connecting and therefore the GPS was turning off.

 

I was using my phone, data off (roaming off) google maps offline were downloaded (not sure if that matters)

 

I rebooted the phone and started a new ride about 5 min into it that same problem

 

Every FItbit Charge I've owned 2 /4 and now 5 have had issues, I expected the Charge 5 to be problem free since this tracker has the built in GPS.
