Can I connect Fitbit & MapMyWalk?

[Simon2000]

One of things I really like is being able to track a route and have looked at both the Fitbit app & MapmyWalk. What's people's thoughts on these ? Also is there a way to get the flex to track a route or do you always have to start it via the phone app ? Reason I ask is my memory is oak and keep remembering to start it off just as I arrive home 😤

Thanks for stopping by the Community @Simon2000. I think that the majority of us like to track our walks or runs and the routes, however, you will always need to use the Fitbit app if you wish to have this information. The Flex can help you time your activity but it does not have the ability to track your route since it does not have GPS. I'm also happy to hear that you are using the Fitbit app and MapMyWalk, I'm sure this helps you a lot! 

Keep up the good work. Let me know if you have any other questions.

As you can track walks on the Fitbit app is there any benefit to using MapmyWalk as well or is it just duplication.

@Simon2000 Well, this app will also provide you with details in regard your route, daily progress, log food and share data with friends. I encourage you to give it a try. Yuo can find out more in this article.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
