Ok, so i have a Inspire HR and use google fit.

I use the fit2fit app to sync to google fit.

 

Now, i see discrepancies between the google step counter and the fitbit one.

 

fitbit currently has 3280 and google has 4787 step count.

 

why is there such a great difference?

 

Is it possible to disable the google fit counter alltogether and only use the fitbit one?

 

Also, when i track walking with google, it shows me my path on a map for each session. when i import fitrbit tracking the gps data is missing.

IS there a way to get that working?

 

Alternatively, which apps work better with fitbit? It would need to be able to import all my data from google fit so far. is this possible?

@sascha.loth It's nice to see you on the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

 

Fitbit One and Google Fit will use different algorithms to track your data, learn more about it by checking this article: How accurate are Fitbit devices? 

 

Currently, there's no integration between Fitbit and Google Fit. Could you let me know if you have them linked? 

 

Regarding your question about exporting GPS data, follow these instructions on how to export your GPS data.

 

Also, you may want to check the list of apps that work with Fitbit. However, Fitbit has an open API, which means that any app can sync the data with Fitbit. Learn more about it by checking this article: Third Party Apps - FAQ 

 

Keep me posted.
