When you use mobile track to utilise your phones GPS, walk hike and run are the only options unfortunately, so with the Versa you cant use GPS on your bike. On my Ionic though, with built in GPS I can use GPS with bike . It is just a function of where a tracker with Built in GPS is different from one without. I really dont know why bike isnt included, but for some reason it isnt when yoj use connected GPS.

Have you checked to see that the connected GPS setting is enabled for the Bike activity. You can do this by following the steps below.

So you will need to open the exercise app, then scroll to Bike and then tap the gear icon in the top left corner. Confirm that GPS is "on", hopefully it will now work.

I have, and sometimes use, a Polar HR1 Chest Band Heart Rate monitor which tracks both the heart rate and the gps track on a map of your walk, run, or even car trip via the Polar Beat app for iPhones or Google Play Store. The app is free and does not require you to wear or even activate a Polar HR1 band. It still records your gps route on a map on the phone as long as you activate the app before you walk, run, bike, or drive somewhere. Works fine for me. More info if requested.
