It is not clear from any information online how MobileRun and the Charge HR data works together. I have come across from the Jawbone UP world, where if you started an activity from your iOS app, it would put the tracker into exercise mode, this does not seem to be the case with FitBit. Currently I am putting the tracker into exercise mode as well as pressing start on the iOS App under  "Track Exercise". This is giving me two fitness results, one with a map and one without. 

 

Is this the correct way of doing it? From my understanding, if you simply start the exercise from the app its not going to gather any tracking data from the charge HR (steps, elevation, HR etc...)

 

Thanks

You are essentially using 2 "trackers" at the same time. If you want to use the app to track your exercise and get the GPS data, do not put the Charge HR into activity mode. It will still pick up your heart rate data.
