About GPS on the Fitbit Surge
Used by some types of Run and Exercise. List a few examples: free run, lap run, hiking, cycling.
Some runs and exercise types search for GPS when you start.
From Sierra: Choosing quick start lets you start your run, the device will continue looking for a GPS fix.
However, if you start running before there is a fix (regardless of whether you are in the run-start screen
or the searching for GPS screen) it will take longer to get a fix and the probability of finding a fix will go
down. If users want to use GPS during their run they should wait to get a fix before starting to run.
If you’re on the searching for GPS screen you’ll see a “Found GPS” message. If you’re on the run-app
screen the "(P)" after your pace will go away (not final UI).
No way to disable it. <<correct? –brs>>
Significant effect on battery life.
