Connected GPS

About Connected GPS

Connected GPS is a term used to relate when a device is using the GPS hardware of another device.

It is also used by some fitness trackers when tracking outside activities. For example, the Fitbit Charge 2 uses the GPS information from a connected smartphone.

Whilst this means that a smartphone has to be present, it does conserve the battery power of the fitness device.
