Map?

Former Member over 11 years ago

This is probably buried in here somewhere but I tried a search and didn't come up with anything.

I did a workout this morning but when I look at it in Connect, I don't see a map that coincides with the workout. How do I get the map to go with a workout?

What device are you using? No map generally means no GPS data.

Vivosmart

That's why, then. No GPS data, no map.

So Vivosmart won't link to a GPS at all?

Vivosmart does not have a GPS chip. It will link to Android and iOS phones via Bluetooth to transfer data. Phones generally do have GPS chips, but there's no way to meld the data from a Vivosmart and the data from the GPS on the phone. Garmin sells devices that do both "activity tracking" and have built in GPS, for example, the Forerunner 15 and the 920XT. The data that Garmin Connect gets from that recorded on your Vivosmart does not have GPS data, hence no map. The same thing happens to me when I turn off GPS on my Edge 800 because I'm riding indoors: for example http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/656527959. They're not picking on Vivo users when they do this.
