Lately I've noticed that speed don't show up anymore when using "bike" activity. This is annoying as it was helpful to know what speed my horse is actually doing as bike is the only activity I can use when riding. Also it don't show map of where you have been anymore.  Again this is not good or helpful as on the map it showed you distance. The developers should put it back in especially as Google have bought fitbit, theres absolutely no reason they can't put these 2 things back.

@HorseladyMia Welcome! It's great to see you around! 

Let me help you with your run activities not showing speed. It sounds as if you were using either Connected GPS or MobileRun to record your activities. These two will use your phone's GPS chip (since the Charge 2 doesn't have one) and will display the map once the activity has been completed. Please follow these instructions to use your phone's GPS and properly record the GPS data.

Let me know how it goes.

Well I've searched on the link you gave n I still can't find. It was working b4 n have done all updates as they  become available  so it was something in your updates that has taken off GPS bit cause I've not changed the settings.  I had already contacted Fitbit with regards to my fitbit no syncing which that hasn't been resolved yet either. Fitbit is supposed to b easy to use but lately it's not been functioning as it should through no fault of mine as I don't mess with settings on anything,  once it's been set I leave alone.
