Inspire HR - no distance

[SunsetRunner]

Hi,

I have GPS enabled in the settings and auto exercise recognition is on (GPS on for walk/run) but the distance is still N/A.

Auto recognition will not display distance,  nor use the GPS

For distance you will need to use the manual mode for recording walk/run

 For GPS you will also need the phone with you. 

This is explained on page 52-54 of the user manual

Or on Fitbits help docs

How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device?

Track your workouts in real time with the Exercise app to capture in-depth activity stats

Why are you saying that? The instructions clearly state that GPS turns on automatically.

HOW DO I TRACK RUNS AUTOMATICALLY WITH MY FITBIT DEVICE?

Track runs with GPS automatically with Charge 3, Inspire HR, Ionic, and Versa. After you start to run, the Exercise app opens to track your real-time stats, including heart-rate, pace, distance, and GPS route.

Yes it should track Runs with GPS automatically.  It will not automatically turn GPS on for walls and Bike.

Of course when GPS is turned on,  the user will also see a map of which the was no mention.

Without a mention of what type of exercise,  I assumed it was not a run.

[SunsetRunner]

Wrong.... it turn on GPS for all in the settings but it does not for me. That's why I created this post because the distance is N/A even if I have set it up correctly.

So do you get a map of your walk on the event record?

Fitbit says otherwise about the auto walk and hike detect. Can you post a screenshot?

[SunsetRunner]

Hi, no I do not get a map. I checked my settings on iphone and on inspire HR and they are as it should. Location enabled everywhere.

I also noticed that it counts kilometers and calories while I am at home. This is nuts. Return procedure initiated 🙂

[Rich_Laue]

As long as Fitbit believes your a live person, Fitbit will be counting calories. 

Thai is your Basic Metabolism Rate, or to pr it another way,  the fuel your body needs to burn to keep you out odd the grave. Of your walking around the house,  add long ad the ste 5 consecutive steps,  then steps will be counted.  Distance OS an estimate based on steps counted. 

Im not sure why you do not get a map,  I'm not sure which exercise or which pdf thre several modes accessible to track you're exercise that you are doing. 

While doing the exercise,  does the Inspire show that our idea connected to the phones GPS?
