T-Rex 2 Navigation (IOS) - Amazfit

Hello,
I recently purchased a T-Rex 2 from Amazon. I bought it on the premise that all features would be functional using an iPhone. I am having trouble setting up the turn-by-turn navigation using Google Maps. I read some articles on how to do this using "Notify for Maps" which is included with the Zepp apps. It appears that at one time, the instructions in the article may have been relevant. But it appears that the Notify app has gone "Android" specific (it's now called "Notify for Maps - Android only"). Also, the additional app previously required for an iPhone - Notify Lite for Smartwatches doesn't recognize my T-Rex 2 although they are connected via Bluetooth (verified in settings).
I have been able to import routes using Maps to GPX converter.........but it only provides instructions when performing a sports activity-not driving. And even then, it doesn't provide turn-by-turn instructions (like in Google Maps) which is what I seek.
If anyone has any information on how I can enable navigation using the T-rex 2 and an iPhone (11 Pro Max) it would be appreciated.
Regards,
Greg D

Is there any news ????

Amazfit BIP - How to export GPS tracing ? (iOS or Android)

Hi everybody from Quebec city
My Bip watch is is with firmware 0.1.0.86
How could I show the record tracking on my walking on Google earth or other ?
I'm on Mac and I have a android phone to "sync" with Mi-Fit and Notify & Fitness app install
(android 5.X)
You can export the .tcx file on Notify and Fitness app, then import it into whatever mapping software you want.
How?
Seem we have many version of Notify and Fitness. What is the version I need and where do I "extract" GPS tracking ?
Thanks in advance

Notify and Fitness fior Amazfit
Pro version is needed to see the content of the messages.
For exporting, just open the activity in the app.
On the top right, there is a 3 dot menu
Synchr with others apps
You have 4 choices : Google fit, Export tcx, Strava or RunKeeper
Big Thanks

You sadly can´t - so I sold my iPhone X and bought an Android phone
Now I can sync any TCX file with or without GPS to Endomondo etc. or directly to Strava from Notify & Fitness and from there automatically to most other platforms through the website Tapiriik.
FREE
I guess everybory already spent their money on the Notify and Fitness Pro.
But for those who want to know, i have found a Free Way.
Install these apps: Gadgetbridge and GPX Viewer.
In Gadgetbridge you will open the activity and choose the GPX Viewer.
And that's it. Now your .gpx file is in the GPX Viewer folder.
(Gadgetbridge is still a work in progress, but i succeeded here)
Hi,
for those using Notify & Fitness. I also use this app, but I have observed a problem in the 1st km statistics when running. Strava will show between 30-40 seconds less for first km compared to what the watch shows, or what you can see in Mi Fit or Notify.
When I export activity to tcx file, I see that first tracking points, aproximately first 200-300 meters, always has same time stamp, and that is causing problems in Strava. So far I dont know if this is a problem of how Notify & Fitness export data, or is the watch that is doing it wrong, any idea?
Thanks
iPhone/ iPad supported !

Found 'AmazTools' in the Apple App store recently, and it works well on latest BIP s/w version !! Including GPX/ Strava/ loads of WatchFaces, and extra button functions. Give it a try!

Thanks, it's still working, but I had to set in Mi Fit my Amazfit Bip as visible BT device, then pairing with Gadgetbridge was ok.

Trying N&T i get a slight difference, here are stats :
- mi fit : 3.87kms / 14min43sec
- N&T : 3.88kms / 15min03sec
- Strava : 3.87kms / 14min17sec
Haven't much other tracks, i'll try, is it alike what you experienced..?

Hello @Vinicius_Gonzo

I didn't used gpx viewer but took directly gpx file from Android/data/ee.aegrel.gadgetbridge/files
Thx
Hi,
What's the easiest way to export GPS data to a PC? I have Android phone, not iOS.
Also, how long will be battery last with GPS recording? What's the record frequency (1 pt per second, etc)? And how much data can it hold (e.g. 10 hours)?
Thanks
Hi, have you found a solution? I will only use gadgetbridge and not mi-fit (data-collector)
Hi !! Have you try to use ZEPP App for connect AMAZFIT BIT to Strava ??
Thanks for the tip, it works just fine, I have a question though: the workouts in Gadgetbridge are all off by 1 hour, so my Strava runs aren't in sync with my friend' tracks, have you met this isuue?

Hi, Any Amazfit watches allow message with alarm?

Howdy all,
Just wondering if any of the Amazfit watches (especially the Bip), will allow you to put a message in with one of the alarms? I have searched high and low but all I can seem to find is that (using the Bip as an example) all you can do is set up to so many alarms, what time, daily/weekly etc but not whether or not you can attach a message like "Go to appointment" with that alarm.
Multiple smartwatch alarms to me seem kind of pointless if you can't remember what they were for.
Thanks,

I don't know about BIP, but it doesn't work this way with Pace and Stratos. On them, however, you can install third party apps, one of them is TickTick. It has reminders and you can set timed reminders for them, and even sync using WiFi. Interface isn't the best because it was not meant for small screens, but after initial setup basically you will open it just to sync data with wifi when needed. It won't work with BIP because BIP runs a proprietary OS, not Android.

[Q] What else can I do with my Stratos watch?

Hello!
I bought a Stratos watch, so far I'm impressed.
I like it but I do not know yet what else I can do with it and I have the following questions:
How do I use Sleep as Android tracker?
How do I set up Tools & Amazfit?
In some Apps or Widgets, I saw Chinese text, is my ROM Chinese or International
Can I sync it with my Calendar and To-Do lists?
Is there any PDF Reader or Note Reader for the watch?
Any method with Maps and Directions on the Watch?
What else can I do?
I can answer some of the questions.
3. I have a pace with the international version and everything is in my language, no chinese at all, so maybe you have the chinese ROM.
4. You can install some apps on the watch to sync your calendar. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-widget-calendar-pace-t3751889 or only the timeline https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-widget-timeline-v1-0-1-pace-stratos-t3894632) (I believe that I saw and app for the to-do, but I'm not sure...)
6. For the maps directions I use this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.re.amazfitmaps)
In this forum, you can find some other interesting apps for your watch. We have amazings developers and a lot of options for ours watches!!!

Activities on website

Hello,
I used to check my sport activities on my phone using Amazfit app. Recently my phone didn't work because of battery problem. So I'm going to do alternately.
I'd like to know if I could check my activities on huami website via a PC?
Someone has tried this?
Thanks.
Regards.
No, you can't. There is a site where you can download/delete your data, but some people reported the downloaded file either is empty or misses data. The best (and simplest) option in this case is sync with a third party service, like Strava (only activities with GPS tho). You can unload new activities from watch using WiFi too: Settings -> Sync (requires a connection to a 2.4GHz access point).

Amazfit GTR // unable to receive notification from Google Pay/Revolut

Hi all,
I bought Amazfit GTR 42mm few days ago. I'am unable to find way, how to receive notifications from Google Pay after i do some payment. Notifications from any other aplications/SMS are working. I have Google Pay(and also Revolut) in list of application, which should be notify. In Google Pay I have Revolut virtual card as my payment card.
In Revolut I receive some notification to watch, for example if someone send me money, but no notification after I paid for something. I want at least one notification about my payment from Google Pay or from Revolut(on phone are both shown) to be shown on my watches. Unable to figure out how to achieve that... ???
I tried original Amazfit app, AeX mod, MiFit. From apps witch is need to be buy: Notify & Fitness for Amazfit and Tools & Amazfit.
No success to receive notifications to my watch. I tried many settings combination without success. I have two notifications on phone - one from Google Pay and second from Revolut after I pay for something by Google Pay. For me is strange, that I'am able to receive any other notifications like from other apps, from SMS about calls... as I mentioned, I was trying to setup this on many SW combinations/settings, strange...
I'am on Android 9, Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact 47.2.A.11.228 (original FW with Magisk). Amazfit GTR 42mm Global, FW v0.1.0.47
If someone known how to solve this, please give me a hint Thak you!
Hi all,
I figure out, how to make Google Pay notification working - main problem is, that notifications from Google Pay are from com.google.android.gms (Google Play Services), not from com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel (Google Play) itself.
After I add com.google.android.gms to apps to be notified , notification after contact-less payment through Google Pay(with assigned Revolud card) are shown on my watches!!! Hurray \o/
Still facing strange behaviour with Revolut notifications.
Working Revolut notifications (able to receive this to my Amazfit GTR)
- notification, when someone send me money
- notification about low level of money
Not Working Revolut notifications (unable to receive this to my Amazfit GTR)
- notification about payment, after pay through Google Pay by my Revolut Card (tested both scenarios 1) NFC phone way 2) by Revolut physical card)
So, have someone a solution to receive Revolut notifications after payment to Amazfit GTR? I will write also to Revolut support to ask them - because for me is strange, that some notifications for the same application I'am able to receive, but some notifications not :/
NEWS:
- I tried also fix this by upgrade my Amazfit GTR 42mm to beta FW v0.1.0.51 (Global version - hawkw), not help
- I guess, that problem will be on Revolut app side
- For debug is nice to use for example Notification History - Google play link
BONUS:
- based on my experience the best app for Amazfit GTR with proper working notification is "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit" - Google play link
- in "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit" I can recommand to pair with key (without need to have Amazfit installed)
- also "Tools & Amazfit" working well for notification - Google play link
- any other apps don't bring any advantage to notifications(Amazfit, AeX, Mi Fit, Alert Bridge for Amazfit & Mi Band, Master for Amazfit... etc.) // if you known about other usable, just tell me
Yeah I have the same problem. It's happening on both my amazfit watch and my mi band. Tried mi fit and downgrading the firmware but unfortunately nothing fixed it, so i stopped using Revolut entirely.
Did you find a way?
