Hi, @Yvonne59 , welcome to the community, If you manually start your walk  from the clock screen> swipe left to and touch exercise> touch walk> touch start arrow it will track and map your walk. Under these circumstances, you will get a map, splits, heart rate, energy, impact, recent walks in your Fitbit app and Sense display. If you do not manually start the walk it will auto-recognize your walk after a preset time and provide data but not the map/GPS. You may find this article of interest How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

I really didnt like to start my activity manually and thus GPS manually. Sense like premium priced device should sense the activity to stand for its name. Not manual.

Scale: Aria 2 - Upgrade from Aria
Tracker: Sense from Versa 2 from Charge 3 from Alta

Hello @Yvonne59. Welcome to the community forums! @Gr4ndp4 Nice to see you around and thanks for your great input! 

 

I've noticed that your question has been answer on the post above. Adding to that post, I also recommend reviewing this help article to get information about how to use GPS on your Fitbit device: How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?

 

Also, please take a look at this link to see how you can track your workouts using your Fitbit Sense: How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device?

 

Hope this helps.
