Hi all,

I have a Fenix 5, it's worked perfectly since purchasing a few years ago. Generally it's used for gym/cardio, walking and mountain biking. I have an Edge 1050 on the road bike.

However, recently when I have been out walking it's working as expected but when I sync with the Garmin Connect app which then syncs with Strava I don't get any mapping of the route I have walked.

I'm not aware of anything I have done to change this, does anyone know whether there is a setting on the device or is it the Garmin connect app, any pointers would be appreciated.

Have you by accident turned the GPS off on the watch ?

Or are you recording the activity via an activity on the watch where the GPS is off by default ?

If its turned off you should be able to turn it back on by following into the activity profile and turning it on in there, but I'm not sure of the exact settings you'd need to scroll through, but I'd have thought somewhere theres an online manual that should explain it.

GPS is on, I've reset the profile now but haven't tested yet.
