I've had a Charge 3 for well over a year. When I would go to track a run on my watch on the past, I would click on "Exercise," then choose "Run," then push "Start." After I would push "Start" my watch would try to find my location and would vibrate when it had my location and was ready to go. 

 

That doesn't happen any more. 

 

Now my Charge 3 doesn't even look for my location and does not track it while I run. It will log a run for me, but does not provide me the typical GPS view of my running route or any of that information. 

 

Any ideas about how this happened? Did I somehow change a setting somewhere? My iPhone still has Location set to "Always" with the Fitbit app. 

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I found the answer.
