The GPS didn't pick up on my watch at the start of my run so I used quick start hoping it would eventually kick in.

I have mapped the route out after as a GPX and need it overlaid with the TCX file (heart rate etc.) from Strava. Any suggestions? Slightly frustrated that the GPS didn't work!

It takes a little time for the GPS in the Surge to get a fix on your location. My advice is to wait until you see it connect and then start your run. If you just start running it may not get a fix at all until you stop.
