Hi, 

I have had my FitBit Versa 4 for 2 weeks or so, I have started to track my activity (linking to Strava) and I have noticed just how inaccurate the GPS tracking seems to be (please see the above photo showing me apparently walking through all kinds of wilderness!). 

I have attempted to troubleshoot and have tried most recommendations on forums. Is there anything else to suggest or is it simply a lost cause? Seriously thinking of returning my watch as I am very disappointed with the tracking on this 😕

@Vish30   The GPS tracking on a Fitbit is for activity distance measurement.  It is only active during exercise tracking, if enabled.  You cannot use it as a Find My Kid feature.  There are different iPhone feature for sharing locations.
