Customize activity list in Connect App

4915977
over 4 years ago

I'm struggling to find a way to change my listed activities in the Activities Tab in the Connect App on my android phone. In particular I would like to have hiking as a listed activity instead of cross country skiing. Does anyone have experience or advice with how to do so?

This is the Tab that I would like the ability to customize within.

Thanks

    Is there any plan to make he activity type list user configurable?

    It is very odd that hiking activity is so neglected by Garmin. 

    - No built-in hiking activity on the watch (Venu)

    - No hiking activity in Connect Mobile app

    - Hiking is not considered as walking, and Garmin Connect neither allow changing activity type from hiking to walking if it is recorded by an IQ app.

    Only Garmin knows, and they do not answer this kind of questions here on the user forum. You can try contacting them directly at https://support.garmin.com, though I doubt they'd tell you. You can also try requesting it through the form Submitting an Idea to Garmin

    I am having a similar issue. I have to make all my nordic skiing activities 'classic" for them to show up in this filter. So all of my nordic skate skiing sessions are mislabeled. Since both classic, skate and alpine for that matter fall under 'winter sports' it would be nice to change it to 'winter sports' to use this feature across all types of skiing activities.  The feature would benefit those that want 'hiking'.... even those that do 'wingsuit flying' could benefit from this flexibility! Thanks for considering...

    • Is there any recent development on this topic? Have the same missing hiking issue and i am wondering might have news or an update about it.

    Is this possible now? This is super annoying that Garmin gets the decide which activities to show and there is no way to customize it. I would love to edit the list and add Hiking to it, since its one of the activities that I frequently do.

    I still do not see on the iOS connect app. Given that its available in Android app, I am hoping it will soon be released for iOS connect app too. I can see it in the connect web.

    From my iPad running Garmin Connect for iOS v4.42.1.3, which is the most recent version accepted on iOS 12.5.5

    Suggest contacting Garmin Support to report your issue.
