Bring the GPS location pointer back

When I first got my Surge and you viewed a GPS activity in the web dashboard there was a little pointer on the route that showed where you were at a particular time that changed as your mouse moved over the one of the graphs at the bottom. This was very useful for being able to see what portion of the route caused your HR to go up/down, etc...

 

Please bring it back.

I use the GPS tracking every time I do a walking or running activity.  Having the ability to track the route position and correlate to heart rate, pace, elevation, etc is really the power of the gps tracking.  Removing the gps route postiional tracking made no sense.  Please restore this function to the Dashboard.

 

 Thanks!

The gps cusor was restored in early April 2015, then removed again by April 6th.

Anyone know why fitbit keeps turnning off this very useful and I believe motovational feature?

Does anyone know how we can move this into the Bug list.  This item should not be a new feature because it was already in the product and is not working anymore(aka removed). 

 

This was such a great feature of the product, please bring it back.

 

Thanks,
Mark
