Activities on the Galaxy Watch4 (windsurfing, skiing) without location tracking

[TMK96]

Why is there no location tracking when I select some of the movement activities from the Galaxy Watch4?
Where can I force it to track me?

Is anyone monitoring this thread? I just windsurfed for 6hrs and no gpa. Super disappointed. Please fix.

I just logged in a 2-hour kitesurfing session on galaxy watch4 and all I got was workout duration and heart rate 😂 NO GPS DATA!!! This can't be serious! The feature is basically not developped!

Needed urgently: GPS tracking and possibility to export a GPX file.

If Samsung decides to develop this feature then it would be nice to have the following metrics tracked:

• Duration
• Total Distance
• Jump hight: every jump + highest jump
• Speed: average, maximum, max speed over 500m, max speed over 1km
• Progression: this session vs last session (distance, jump, speed ...etc)
• Map view of the session
• Wind information of the spot

Did you check surfr app? It's galaxy watch compatible and does measure jump height https://www.thesurfr.app/

I need this feature! 

I think isn't so difficult to do so!

@Samsung

Are you listening????

Also with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, location is not included when recording a Windsurfing session. Obviously Samsung has no clue when it comes to windsurfing.

LocosysTech's GW60 Doppler Watch does a good job,  but it doesn't track heartbeat rate.

@Samsung is missing an opportunity here.

I used sailing activity but, I I would really like this as well.

Same problem and I'm on the Galaxy watch pro5. Any activity that is outdoors should allow location tracking. I created my own for kitesurfing and cannot use the right icon to find it because of this problem.
