Everything was fine with the GPS tracking until the last update.  Now I no longer get a map of the route taken.  Also, the statistics regarding distance are junk as a result of not getting GPS tracking as the distance is computed by using the stride length that I have set.  Obviously walking up and down hills and varying types of terrain effect the number length of the strides. 

Dear Fitbit:  How can you call it a tracker if it no longer tracks?   I have had my Fitbit for almost 3 years and no problems, now it is a piece of worthless junk that fails to do what I purchased it for.

How's the battery life now?

A bunch of people reported much lower battery life, too.

battery life is horrible right now. No sign that fitbit will patch the issues from latest firmware.
