Can someone help me understand if I am doing something wrong in tracking my run/route via GPS

 

I have purchased a FitBit Versa 2 and I have a Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) mobile device, which is on the compatible list of mobile devices.

 

I want to be able to run with just my Versa 2, and have it track my route via GPS.

 

I follow the instructions here https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1874#start_gps and GPS is on, however when I complete my run it does now show any GPS/route data on my device.

Never mind, now I see that the Versa uses connected GPS, not built in GPS, which is a pity. It would have been nice if this was explained better when I purchased the device.
