Versa: Google Maps Interface

[kida232]

I am fully aware that the new FitBit Versa will not have built-in GPS. However, I think it would be an amazing feature if Google Maps could be used or at least displayed in real time, assuming your smartphone was on your person. I think that would be an excellent move on FitBit's part. I should preface I currently live in Vietnam and the main form of transportation here is motorbike. Putting aside geographic region or form of transportation, I think this would be a useful tool for driving, walking, biking, or boarding where you do not have the time always to pull at your phone which could very easily result in an accident. Here's to hoping. Cheers FitBit!
