I would like to be able to track laps at my indoor track.  The track is set up that 12 laps equal 1 mile.  I sometimes lose count.  Fitbit counts steps but I cant simply count laps by pushing a button.  

The built in lap counter set a lap at 0.5 miles/laps.  Can this be changed?

@wmnvbob   The automatic lap count intervals are set and you can't change that.  You CAN set a manual lap count.  When you select the Walk shortcut, swipe up on the tiny "^" at the bottom.  In the Laps section, choose Manual instead of Automatic.  This sets your lap count to be the top stat.  You will see a lap icon at the top of the screen when you start your walk.  Tap on the icon to count a lap.

 

It's probably a good idea to turn the GPS off for your indoor walk.  I don't think the GPS will ever connect.  I can connect when I am upstairs in my house, but not downstairs.  When you turn the GPS off, your Fitbit will measure the distance using steps x stride length.
