Show heart rate data when using GPS

When GPS is used to map an activity, the minutes spent in each heart rate zone is not provided. The minutes spent in each heart rate zone is shown when logging any activity that doesn't use GPS, so the fitbit tracker is definitely able to measure this data, it just doesn't show it with GPS.

How do I vote for this? 

 

Also, how is it possible this is not already a feature. Why would you turn off the heart rate information just because we're using gps. That makes no sense.

For an activity that was recorded using my phone's GPS instead of the tracker's GPS, and during which the phone and tracker are Bluetooth tethered, include the same detailed heart rate graph and report that's included when I use the tracker's GPS.

Yes! In the old app you could still see your normal heart rate graph for exercise when you had use GPS to track exercise. Now with it only showing on the map you can't see the actual numbers you reached. Up grades should be better not worse than previous ones. Way less data in the new app
