Hi

My Fitbit app will not show me a map of my exercise when I set it as a run.

If I set it as a walk, I get a GPS map, distance, average speed , fastest km etc. 

 

If I do the same route but set my Fitbit for a run, I just get heartbeat details and steps taken. 

Is there a reason for this? How can I fix the issue or do I just have to set all runs as a walk?

Thanks

Could it be you have GPS selected for walks but not for run?  I forget exact settings on Luxe, but you might have to select GPS separately for each activity type, and of course carry your phone with you.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

That’s really helpful. Thank you very much I didn’t realise GPS was separate for each type of exercise. 

I found a YouTube video and was able to turn GPS on for running.  I’ll link it in case anybody else has the same issue.
