Galaxy Watch 4 Inlineskating (why no GPS?)

[ProfessorBaum]

Hello,

I was pretty excited when I saw that the watch 4 finally got an Inlinskating sport mode but why not include GPS tracking as you have it for running/cycling? I don't know anyone who only skates inside or in skateparks.

It would be great to track not only my distance and route but also my speed just as you can in cycling or running mode. I'm guessing since those features are already in other sport modes it shouldn't be too hard to update that.

So please update that 🙏

All the best

PS: I was hoping for more replies/views so I wrote in English... sorry for any false grammar.

Thanks a lot for your post! I have the same complaint to make about kayaking, rowing, and nordic skiing: NO GPS, no cadence. That is a shame as exercise tracking for cycling is excellent! Actually, some of the best I ever had on a smartwatch (TicWatch Pro 3 GPS, Suunto 7).

Yeah, I just got home and was unpleasantly surprised that my exercise wasn't recorded with distance, speed and route.. I feared I did something wrong...

Hi, 

I do confirm the problem. No GPS during skating, meaning no distance and speed measurement. How can we suggest this to Samsung?

Hi Prof Baum, did you get the problem sorted? I too have this problem and I want to resolve it ASAP but I don't know how

I checked today: Rowing has GPS now, but not kayaking. I am disappointed.

My watch4 GPS stop working after last update (One UI 4.5). Anyone experienced such an issue? The improve accuracy is missing.
