I've started using the C25K Ionic app instead of the regular "Run" activity tracker.

 

After completing a run the app shows distance in the summary on the watch. The Fitbit dashboard shows a Run activity but only the steps, time and calorie estimate appear. The distance is n/a and there's no map or elevation data.

 

Is there some way to turn on the Ionic's built-in GPS with this app?

@TheSteakman It's nice to see you on the Community. Thanks for sharing your experience with Ionic and the C25k app. 

The information that's going to show on your Ionic is based on what the C25K app designed. At the moment, it's not possible to allow it to access GPS. However, you may want to contact the app developer for more information about it. 

As a side note, you may want to check these article about how to track your workouts with your Ionic and how to use GPS on your watch. 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
