Versa 4 version 61.20001.184.52

Android app version 3.72

 

I have just changed my FitBit from a Blaze to a Versa 4.

 

I used to be able to monitor my walks with a map but now this does not appear. I have read a few comments saying that GPS needs to be set but I cannot find this option so presume it is on because I do not get a warning to say that a signal cannot be found as I have in the past.

 

Also some comments state that there is a problem with Google Maps and the service has been switched off. If this is the case then there must be a very embarrassed ex programmer that has not tested that two products from the same stable are not compatible.

 

Can we pleased be advised when this service will be available again????

@SPCO Welcome to the Fitbit community!

To enable GPS, first swipe sideways from your clock face until you see your Training tile. Now tap on All to get a list of available training and exercises. As an example, tip on Walking. To enable GPS, just scroll down to the GPS option to enable it. That's it, any suitable training now will use GPS every time you start it.

The Google Maps option for Versa 4 and Sense 2 is under development and will offer you turn-by-turn navigation once released.

Thank you I have found the option. To me it is not a logical place and
hidden so far down the list that I did not find it. I think it should be in
the main settings area. At the moment it is searching for a signal. On
other posts this seems to be a common error.

@SPCO Glad I could help you. Make sure to keep your Versa 4 and your phone nearby during the setup process and any update.
