Hi guys,
I currently have a FitBit device (the FitBit Blaze) which allows me, while exercising, to connect my device to my android phone and then use the GPS from the phone. In this way the distance, the pace, etc are all calculated using the GPS from the phone, and when I sync my data to the Fitbit application I can see the map of the route I travelled, together withe he HR data from the phone. The advantage, among other things, is I buy a less costly device and I save on battery life from the Fitbit device, since the device does not hold a GPS.
I am considering to buy a Garmin device with Elevate wrist based Heart Rate but without GPS (wither vivosmart HR, or vivoactive HR, or a forerunner device). Will I be able to connect the device during exercise with the phone and make full use of the GPS of teh phone. If yes, can you guide me how this is done (or to some documentation or thread).
thank you in advance.
