I was having issues today connecting my Sense to GPS. Turns out I needed to stand in an open outdoor area so the watch could connect to GPS. Standing in the building in the shadow of a hill was blocking the signal. Solved!

Hi there, @Jen110. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for sharing the tips that worked for you to connect to the GPS. I'm glad the issue is now solved!

As a friendly reminder, please note that environmental factors, including tall buildings, dense forest, steep hills, and thick cloud cover, can interfere with your device’s ability to connect to GPS satellites. If the signal is blocked—either because you're indoors, underground, or due to another reason—GPS won't work.

For more information, see Why isn't GPS working on my Fitbit device?
