Just starting using my Charge 2 two days ago (after my Charge HR literally fell apart after a little over a year). So tonight I took my walk. This time the app is showing a map and I want to turn that off but I cannot seem to find out how to do this. Anyone know how to get rid of the map?

@ExBrooklyn, if it created a map, that indicates that you used the Exercise Mode for Walk, which uses the Connected GPS feature. If you do not want it to use the GPS open the Fitbit app Device Settings for Exercise Shortcuts, select Walk and tap on the Connected GPS just below the word "Walk" - that will open a separate screen that allows you to turn off the GPS for the Walk exercise mode. Then sync your tracker, and it will no longer create the map when you walk.

turned itself back on. And now even though I have turned it off for both
walking and biking it still says "Connected GPS" underneath. I could have
sworn that last time I turned this feature off it showed "disconnected". The
FitBit app in Windows 10 and the dashboard on the website don't offer the
ability to turn this on or off. I assume that is becaue the GPS is on the
phone. So why can't I get it to show disconnected?

Find settings on your Fitbit tracker. There should be an option to turn off connected GPS. This should stop the Fitbit app from turning the GPS back on.
