Had a Charge 4, and it had the walking mode exercise, and could start the GPS  before the hike and stope it at the end. Was easy enough to see where i had ben  hiking. Charge 5 does not have a hike form of exercise, either running or treadmill. So how to turn on the GPS when hiking?

Charge 5 also has those exercise types, though they might not be on your watch as defaults.  You can choose from 20 different exercise types which ones to show on your watch.

See How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device? 

 

@KelseyClubb  made a good video showing how to do this.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
