User level: Level 1 (8 points)On apple watch I have noticed when you choose "other" workout it won't use the GPS to track the distance on your paddle.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this, or a setting I can change?

I don't know what exercise to use that will invoke the GPS for paddling
I know outdoor Run or Walk use the GPS
Open water swim will also use the GPS
I use Rower in the gym and there is no GPS

There is a workout called "rower" in the workout app,this maybe worth a try as there isn't a canoeing or kyaking workout type in the app.

I’ll give that go. Do you think that is going to mess up the calories average etc. rowing is far more strenuous then a paddle...
I’ll try though and see what happens.

Yes you have a point about the calories,it may mess things up,the only thing I can think of is to try a workout type that may burn similar amounts of calories but also uses GPS tracking.
