I’ve just started training for a 5k and running multiple times per week. Every time I start a “run” on my Charge 2 it prompts me to check the Fitbit app, which asks to turn on location services. But I have my settings turned to allow tracking “while using”. I don’t want it always on. How do I get it to stop asking me and just track my route DURING an actual run?

@NYCdramaqueen Welcome! It's great to see you around! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

 

Let me help you with your GPS request on your app. As you have seen you will see this message everytime you start a run and you can activate GPS when you need this data for your run. If you don't need it just start running and you will get the general data (distance, steps, etc.). If you do want this data then just enable GPS on your phone before starting the recording and it should connect with your tracker while running.

 

Let me know how it goes.
