When I start a workout like RUN my watch says searching at the top. My workouts are recorded fine, with all the details but no MAP of my run. Is it searching for GPS ? Or?

The Versa and Versa Lite have no internal GPS and relies on being connected to your phone for the mapping. Hopefully you carry your phone with you when you do this. If you do carry your phone then the issue is with the connected GPS.

Hi yes I know it doesn’t have a internal GPS. I do carry my phone with me. I just didn’t know what it was searching for but that makes sense if it’s searching for a GPS signal. It’s a little spotty where I live in the mountains. Thank you for your reply I appreciate it
