Feedback on linking Map My Run and Fitbit

[chrisd575]

Hi Guys 

I am about to purchase a Charge HR. Currently i am using Map my Run to ..... Map my runs lol. I was wondering if syncing this app with my fitbit account is worthwhile? Im struggling to see if it will give me anymore useful info that the FitBit app and band will not. GPS is not really a concern as long as i can map how far and how fast i have run. 

Cheers Chris

@chrisd575 It's nice to see that the Community is growing! I haven't used MapMyRun but I can totally share with you what syncs between Fitbit and MapMyRun. Fitbit will sync distance and calories to MapMyRun but MapMyRun won't sync data to Fitbit. 

Hope this helps you to take the best decision.

My fit bit isn't syncing anything at all to map my run.
All appears to be connected but no exercise data ends up in map my run.

Huge bummer after running 8 miles

@MikeTSteele It's great to have you here! Fitbit will sync distance and calories burned to MapMyRun. The data should be updated each time your tracker syncs. What are you seeing that's not syncing? 

Also, there was a change on the way they synced you may want to check this post posted by @AndrewFitbit for more information. 

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Hi,

In Map My Run am seeing nothing at all. When I look at workouts, there is
no log entry whatsoever.
When I look at connected apps n devices, fitbit and my fitness pal both say
connected.
When I look in settings, under unsynced workouts it says "none"....but in
truth, there are plenty missing.

When I look at my fitness pal under exercise, I see steps, and fitbit
tracker calorie adjustment, but nothing else.

@MikeTSteele That sounds about right...activities/workouts don't sync over to MapMyRun. Same thing goes for MyFitnessPal.

You can check out my posts linked below for more info on the two integrations. 🙂
