Hi, I recently got an Inspire HR. I am trying to get it to log the gps data for a run, which it doesn't seem to be doing even though it should be connecting to my phone straight away.

 

It seems as though starting a run log using the inspire hr doesn't automatically log gps data (even though it is used live to more accurately calculate distance). The only way to log the data for mapping is to use the app on android instead. Is this correct?

@SuperV8Monkey Welcome! It's great to see you around! 

 

Let me help you with your GPS data tracking. There are two ways with your Inspire HR. One is using only the app, this is called MobileRun. The second is using your tracker and your Fitbit app, this is called Connected GPS and you can find instructions on how it works here.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks @AlvaroFitbit. I think when i had tried to use connected GPS before, something must not have been set up right or it didn't connect to the phone properly, but today i checked it all and waited a bit longer to make sure it was working and it worked!

 

MobileRun works as well, though it would be nice if it asked if you wanted to connect to a tracker when you set it up, so that it works fully both ways
