Charge 3 GPS drops out

[Kayla90]

Hi, I have a Charge 3 I always wait till it’s connected to my phone on GPS and the start I leave the Fitbit app running in the background and take my phone with me and the GPS cuts out a few minutes after starting does locking your iPhone cut the GPS? If so that’s ridiculous and needs to be fixed all latest iOS and app up to date firmware as up to date as it will allow

It's great to see you around, @Kayla90.

If you are having problems with the GPS connected feature, verify the following requirements; then try the troubleshooting steps if necessary.

• Make sure that you have a clear view of the sky when you start the exercise. Environmental factors, including tall buildings, dense forest, steep hills, and even thick cloud cover, can interfere with your phone’s ability to connect to GPS satellites. If the signal is blocked—either because you're indoors, underground, or due to another reason—GPS won't work.
• Confirm that Bluetooth on your phone is turned on, and your device is connected under your phone’s Bluetooth settings.
• Make sure that phone is within 30 feet of your device.
• Make sure that your device can sync with the Fitbit app. For more information, see How do Fitbit devices sync their data?
• Confirm that the Fitbit app can use your phone's GPS sensors. For more information, see How do I allow my Fitbit device to use my phone's GPS sensors?

See if GPS connects after each step

1. Force quit, and reopen the Fitbit app to refresh the connection with your device.
2. On your phone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and back on.
3. Restart your phone.

Let me know the outcome.

GPS seems to be hit and miss sometimes it is failing to sync but it’s completely random when it happens
