Paddling Workout not GPS tracking

I wish to use the Paddling Workout for canoe training. The heart rate zone view is great, but why can’t I get this workout do GPS tracking?

I have low power mode turned off.

If it is not available for this workout, why is that? We’re as likely, if not more likely, to want this than other workouts that have it.

Thank you

Why does Fitness activity Sailing not track gps route Apple needs to improve certain workouts in the fitness app. Sailing and surfing should track GPS route and display it on the map. Instead the map just shows the point where the workout started. Sailing and surfing and perhaps some other workouts should be no different than outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run, and Outdoor Bike, which all show your full workout route on the map. Seems like this would be very simple for Apple to fix, and it’s kind of disappointing that these workouts weren’t originally programmed to show the route. Until they fix this I’ll keep using Outdoor Bike workout, but it would be much better for it just to track this data. They should also include data such as average speed, top speed, etc.

Does Apple change the sampling rate on the gps to manage power comsumtion? whenever I slow down my mode of transportation the vehicle location display lags actual position,. It has been suggested that in order to save power, apple reduces the gps sample time, thereby affecting the position location. Is there a setting that I can adjust when I want to improve gps accuracy?

GPS turning on and off? When I go out for a walk or run, my mileage and exercise time is always much shorter than it should be. When I look at the map of my walk or run, it looks like the GPS is turning on and off almost rhythmically. Anyone have this issue?

Thanks Rudegar,

I had Paddlr but it started freaking out on me and when I tried to update, it was gone. I’ve tried a couple other apps but each was unsatisfactory in some way. I just want to use the basic, hopefully most reliable, Apple workout. Other Apple workouts will track GPS, and Paddling has the heart rate zone view I need; I just can’t figure out why I can’t get GPS tracking in the Paddling Workout.

Thanks
