Ability to log a GPS coordinate and navigate back to it on all Fitbit devices

Just read the Charge 4 manual, as it can already be found on your website: https://staticcs.fitbit.com/content/assets/help/manuals/manual_charge_4_en_US.pdf 😉

 

The feature I miss now that GPS is on board is to log a GPS coordinate and being able to navigate back to this coordinate (e.g. by displaying the distance to the logged coordinate).

This has multiple use cases:

- Find back your car

- Don't get lost when going for a walk

- Find back points of interest in general.

 

First suggestion is to be able to log a position and find it back (car, starting point of a walk)

Next suggestion is to be able to save multiple GPS coordinates in the mobile phone app from the tracker and select later one of those to find it back using the tracker.

Third suggestion is to even be able to enter a coordinate (geocaching, meeting location, ..) in the app and sync it to the tracker to find it.

 

In all use cases, the tracker will guide you by giving the distance to the GPS location. If you are getting closer, you are moving in the right direction.

Even more sophisticated would be if the tracker displays the angle of adjustment towards the straight path to the coordinate, so that you can find the fastest route.
