How to track GPS data with the Charge 2?

[SunsetRunner]

Is it possible to track the route you have just ran or cycled on a charge 2, as I was able to do this on my previous Fitbit Surge

The Surge had GPS built into the watch so GPS tracking was nice and easy.

The Charge 2 doesn't have GPS so it's a bit more tricky. What it does have is "connected GPS" which is where it will use your phone's GPS and track via that, the downside being that you need to take your phone with you on your runs.

There's information on how this works at https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1874/
