How to create goal in app?

Former Member over 6 years ago

How do I create a goal in my Connect App? I would like to create a goal to run 1000 miles this year in the app and keep up with the progress of my goal in the app.

Unfathomably, it's still not possible. A work around I accidentally discovered is to create a challenge and then not invite anyone (or invite someone but ask them not to accept) then it gives you a 'challenge…

Is it, after 2 years, still not possible to view your goals (and progress) in the app?

It could be an agreement with Strava as it would affect their sales.

Huh? Goals are accessible through Garmin Connect Web. That's free, and you do not need any Strava for it at all.

Can one not create a goal for ascent? I also find it surpising that the app is limited to what is available on the web application. Managing your goals whilst on the go is such an important function.

Unfortunately only the distance, duration, Calories, and the number of activities are available as target for Goals. Send a suggestion to Garmin: Share Ideas | Garmin

Really? I usually set my goals well in advance (typically at the start of the season), and definitely before leaving for a trip. It is certainly not a critically needed feature on the go, but if you really need to add a goal when not home, you have certainly a browser on your phone too, and can add it on the web interface of GC.

But this thread is about the mobile app, not via a web browser. The fact is that it's not available until you access Garmin Connect via a browser and that's something that Strava has over Garmin Connect atm. The web app isn't really practical on a mobile device, this is why the app exists.

If we the people keep posting to ask for the feature will it make it on to the software product roadmap?
