Can Surge Workouts Import to MapMyFitness?

I just got a Surge a couple of days ago, which is my first Fitbit product. I'm generally pleased with it althought I've experienced some issues with HR accuracy during weight/circuit training as other users have.

 

I've linked my Fitbit and MapMyFitness accounts. They seem to be "connecting" as there is info (steps & distance) in MapMyFitness from my Fitbit account. However, the exercise and workout info is not migrating.

 

My question is this: Does the exercise and workout info not migrate to MapMyFitness? I haven't done an outside run yet, but I'm guessing a GPS-mapped run won't migrate since treadmill runs, circuit trainging, and ellipticals haven't migrated.

 

If the workouts won't migrate, does the Fitbit dashboard allow for similar history, mapping, and other info on runs? I'm sort of a map junkie and love that my Garmin connected with MapMyFitness to show the maps of my runs.

I am not finding this to be the case with the new Surge. Workouts recorded on the Surge are not importing to MapMyFitness. When I manually log them in MapMyFitness they are not mmigrating to Fitbit.

 

I have successfully linked the two accounts, but only steps are migrating from Fitbit to MapMyFitness. 

 

I've posted the question about this elsewhere without any response.

I have the same problem.  I can't get the fitbit workout information to sync to Mapmyfitness account.  How can I do this?

You should be asking over at MMF. They use their own software with the Fitbit open API. Every time you sync the Fitbit servers send the data to the connected 3rd party apps. Once it gets there, it could be sitting in a queue, the MMF servers could be havng issues or MMF might only clear the queues at certain intervals. Fitbit has no control over any of that. 

 

On another note, the current API does not include heart rate or GPS data. Fitbit is working on updating the API to include that info "in the coming months". However, 3rd party developers are free to include or not include any of that data so there is no guarantee they will update their apps to include it.
