Location requests are annoying!

Hi,

 

I am a few days into the charge 5 and the requests for location are making me regret the purchase.

 

I don't run outside or workout in any way that requires a gps location.

 

Please just tell  me how to make the device less annoying!!!   I want it to just understand that I don't need the gps so neither does the device.

 

thanks

Hello @SunsetRunner 

 

In the GPS setting, if you turn it to Off, the notifications should disappear.

wipe down from the clock screen and tap the Settings app to open it, then tap GPS 

 

 

 GPS.

Setting How It Works

GPS Mode
  • Dynamic: Your tracker sets the GPS type at the start of the workout. If you take your phone with you, your tracker uses your phone’s GPS sensors to map your route. If your phone is nearby but not moving when you start the exercise, your tracker uses built-in GPS.
  • Built-in GPS: Your tracker uses built-in GPS sensors to track your route, pace, distance, and other stats. This option can reduce battery life on your tracker.
  • Phone GPS: Your tracker uses your phone’s GPS sensors to track your route, pace, distance, and other stats. This option can help preserve battery life on your Fitbit device.

Note: If the GPS signal is lost during the exercise, Charge 5 doesn't switch to a different GPS type
