As a new Sense 2 user, I thought I turned off the GPS during installation and setup. But it was suddenly on and eating my battery. The instructions in this forum called for me to swipe right, select an exercise, swipe up, and turn off the GPS separately for running, biking, and walking. But each time I did so, it started timing the exercise before I could read or select anything to set. The timing screen offered no way to get to the settings. To say the least, this was very frustrating.

I accidentally discovered the solution: double tap the button and that offers a list of apps, among which is exercise. From the exercise app, chose your exercise and swipe up to find settings, including the GPS. I'm guessing the software has changed. Hopefully this will be helpful for other new users.

You were trying to access exercises from exercise shortcuts tile which starts exercise automatically not allowing you open settings. You need to either tap "All" on the shortcuts tile or open Exercise app other way as you already found out. This issue seems to be the design and it was like that since the very beginning.
