Is there a way to completely turn off GPS with the Charge 5? I knew how to do it with the 4 and I already know how to switch between built in / dynamic / phone

If you set it to the Phone option then it should never use the built-in GPS. Then, I guess could just not allow the Fitbit app to use your location?

Hi @JasonDC2020 

 

You can turn off GPS for individual exercise modes so it won't even waste time and battery trying to connect.

 

I show how to do this in my video here (I linked to the part where I show switching GPS on/off; you can back up to 4:13 to see how I got to that section): https://youtu.be/vsnhs3JyH8M?t=314

 

Hope that helps!
