I just got one of the new Sense watches.  It will auto-detect my workout, but it wont record the location on the map. If I manually start a workout it connects to GPS and records the map, but it doesn't do it on auto-detected workouts.  I have given it all the permissions to location on my phone but its still not working.  Any suggestions?

The GPS is not activated for auto-recognized exercises. In the app, if you open the Exercise screen for Auto Recognized Exercises, and select any of the listed exercises, you will note that it says "GPS will not be turned on".

Guess ill have to put in yet another feature request for that.  This watch is getting more and more frustrating the more I use it!
