Does Fitbit send GPS data to MapMyRide as it sends to Strava?

Got connected Fitbit and MapMyRide but can't find any rides, just 24/7 activity logs. And Strava shows recorded tracks perfectly. 

Here's the screen of application interaction with Fitbit and no GPS data mentioned in MapMyRide section. What does 'Fitbit devices and settings' do?

@pelipe A warm welcome to the Community! Thanks for the screenshot. Fitbit has various third party apps. However, each one will sync something different to Fitbit and viceversa. 

Fitbit will sync distance and calories to MMF. Strava will sync automatically runs and rides to Fitbit and will contribute to active minutes and manually logged exercises. Fitbit will sync exercises containing GPS data and will show up on Strava. 

Also, what do you mean by What does 'Fitbit devices and settings' do? Are you talking about the apps and Fitbit or your tracker's settings in the Dashboard?

Keep me posted.

1. Thanks for the reply! So the answer is no, Fitbit doesnt send GPS data to MMR?

2. I've underlined 'Fitbit devices and settings' with red

. Got interested what type of data it is.

@pelipe Thanks for the details. That's correct Fitbit won't sync GPS data to MMR. 

Also, the things that you underlined are the things that the third party app will have access from Fitbit. In Strava says "location and GPS" because those are the things that gonna sync from Fitbit to Strava. On MMR says "Fitbit devices and settings" because it will have access to your personal information and data from your tracker. 

Hope this helps.
