Do I have to choose between heart rate and GPS data for runs?

When I start a run via the iphone app, I'll get an exercise log with a fun little map showing where I went, and presumably more accurate distance/pace tracking. The thing is, there's no heart rate data to show.

 

When I start a run via the fitbit screen (inspire HR), I'll get an exercise log with steps and heart rate data, but no GPS data.

 

How can I get both? I have phone GPS turned on in the device's settings, and I have location set to "While Using" on the iphone app. I keep the app open when running. What am I doing wrong?

For now yes, there is a thread in the iOS board.

I found some relevant threads from 2017, but had hoped more was done at this point. I guess they don't listen to these queries.
