How to disable gps for "other" activity?

I have a Lily 2 Active, and when I try to use "other" for barre it starts trying to use GPS. I don't want to use GPS because it isn't necessary and drains the battery, but I can't find a way to disable it in the iOS app. Is there a way to use "other" for indoor activities without GPS? I've tried strength and pilates and the calorie estimates vary considerably, which makes me worry that choosing the wrong activity will make it less accurate. My device is also not compatible with the ConnectIQ store, so I can't add activities from there.

The best would be asking on the Lily 2 Active forum, since here on the app forum, people are not necessarily familiar with your model. Otherwise, on watches that I know, you can disable GPS in the menu of the concerned activity profile. To get into the menu, you have to hold the Menu button for 1-2s wile the profile is selected, on watches I know, but it may differ on Lily 2.

BTW, the Calories are calculated from your heart rate, and do not depend on the activity type you chose.

Thank you for your help! I’ll ask on that forum. There doesn’t seem to be an option to disable GPS unfortunately, but I’ll ask over there and see if anyone has any suggestions.
