Connected GPS does not activate when exercise is auto-detected while the phone is locked on Android

Hello, I’ve had my device for awhile and used to get maps to show where I’d been on my walks but this has now stopped. A walk still gets logged but no maps.

Fitbit app - 4.58 (1103883091}

Fitbit Inspire 3 device - 63.200001.220.31

Fitbit Device - walk - gps on / hr on / auto start on / auto stop off

Android pixel 9a (Android 16) - gps active and Fitbit app set to allow always. Upgraded from pixel 6a to pixel 9a about a month ago and that’s when maps stopped.

Phone usually with me when walking. I do expect no maps when no phone but it’s when phone with me that there are no maps.

This week had 10 walks logged with 1 having a map.

I’ve completed a factory reset and reconnected to the pixel 9a, checked the Fitbit device again for gps, auto on / off that they are on and also on the pixel that locations services are always on. Also check battery saving off and also foreground toggles are on for Fitbit app.

I’ve read that within the Fitbit app you need to ensure location services is on but none of the instructions take me to that option. 

Any ideas? Thanks
