Does Versa have built-in GPS?

[SunsetRunner]

Hi everyone, I’m in Australia and got my Versa a couple of days ago. There’s all this talk about whether it has in-built GPS so I wanna know what’s the deal! Also, what’s the point having the Strava app on the Versa screen if it doesn’t even sync or show “recent activity”?

@SunsetRunner Welcome to the Fitbit Community.

The Fitbit Versa has no in-built GPS, but work with the sensors on your phone to get GPS data, known as connected GPS. For more information about which Fitbit devices offer this option please visit this link.

To resolve the problem with Strava, please make sure you have connected your Strava account to Fitbit. For instructions to link them please visit this article.

Then, please follow these instructions:

- From the Fitbit app tap the Ionic icon > Apps > My Apps

- Tap the gear icon next to Strava > Authorize

- Login to your Strava account > Authorize

Please keep in mind the maps of your activities won't be shown immediately once Strava is selected, but it is necessary selecting each activity in order to access them. On your Versa you will be able to see the last 10 workouts. For information about what data will be transferred between your accounts please check out this post. The following activities won't be synchronized to Strava:

• Non-GPS activities 
• Previously completed activities
• Duplicate activities—that is, if you already recorded an activity with Strava, a Fitbit activity that occurs at the same time won't sync.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
