@Oncethegrey   Both apps must run in the foreground, so you can't use them at the same time.  Sorry.

I actually tried this on my Pixel Watch 2 the other day.  I haven't figured out how to get the GPS working on the device yet, but the best way I've found to track the exercise is through "Fitbit Exercise" and then "Spinning" or "Biking".

@Oncethegrey you can't. Navigation can't be used during activities.
