I just got the Sense 2 and when I look at my walks I don’t see the GPS map tracking my walk in the fitbit app. My brother has an old fitbit and he can see it, I do have an iPhone so I wonder if that’s the issue?
I see a lot of old answers about connectivity to your phone but all that is working and I thought the Sense 2 has GPS so surely you don’t need to bring a phone? Thanks .

Welcome to the Fitbit community, @feebiee!
Make sure that you're starting your walking exercise manually to get your Sense 2 to use GPS recording of your track as it wlon't do so when automatically tracking a walk.
Otherwise I'd suggest having a look here to see what might apply to your issue:
How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?

I also noticed this. Unlike the original Sense unit the Sense 2 seems to default to only using the stride length to estimate the distance UNLESS you manually select the GPS for the activity. It is annoying to say the least

I have the same problem with my Sense 2. I select walk or bike ride and it tracks the length but doesn't not utilise the GPS feature to provide a map.

Have you ensured that GPS is enabled for walks?
Press the physical button once to open the All Apps menu > Exercise > Walk > Scroll down to GPS and turn it on if it isn't already.

THanks for the tip. I'm not sure how the setting was disabled, but your advice worked. Thank you.
