Ionic not mapping run without phone

[Patsypig]

I always take my phone with me on my runs, but today I left it at home. When I got back from my run did the sync my map didn't show. Do I have to take my phone with me to map the runs

@Patsypig Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

Since you have a Fitbit Ionic you don't have to take your phone with you because your watch has built-in GPS. I would like you to make sure you're turning on the GPS function on your watch before starting the exercise and that you're following these tips: 

• Charge your device to at least 80%, as built-in GPS can cause the battery to drain more quickly.
• Start your exercise and connect to GPS in an area where you have a clear view of the sky.  
• Sync your device with the Fitbit app. The more you sync your device, the faster your device can connect to GPS. 
• If you are using GPS for the first time in an area, connecting may take longer than usual.

Let me know the outcome.
