Versa 2 will not connect to GPS

This week after the newest Fitbit app update, my Versa 2 either does not connect to GPS or does not stay connected to GPS. I have restarted the device, restarted the app, restarted my phone without success.

I am also very frustrated with this problem. It is likely related, but my pace is also way down.  I am moving just as fast as I have been but it's telling me I'm going anywhere from 3-5 minutes slower.  So overall it is saying I am traveling a shorter distance and at a slower pace than I have been when doing the same route I have been doing for months.   I bought this last November.  It should not be breaking down yet!

Same problem. My pace is dramatically slower and the distance I walk is incorrect. I have been tracking my walking for a very long time. Also, the map shows me walking in one straight line when in reality I have walked all over the neighborhood. I am very upset as this is the main reason I have the tracker in the first place. Also, the fitbit won't stay connected to my phone. I didn't even want to do the update but was "forced" to because the the app kept prompting me to do it. Ugh!

same here - IF I get a map which is rare in the last week it is a straight line

I'm having the same issue, and it's extremely frustrating! I found I had to constantly get my phone out, refresh the Fitbit app to re-sync and connect to GPS - to have to do it again 2 minutes after!

After doing everything suggested by the support chat, what seems to have helped is uninstalling and reinstalling the Fitbit app. Testing it out now!

I have read all the posts and my 9 month old Versa 2 isn't connecting to GPS either and I'm getting a straight line on my map too. I will uninstall and reinstall my app. Thanks!
