Please add Orienteering as activity.

Orienteering It is not like trail running, and every time I do a training session or a competition the VO2 max stats are affected. In orienteering you run in the woods, and as amatueur you need to slow down to validate.

It would be nice to have it as own activity type (Polar has it).

Thanks

Hi. True, I meant that it is not trail running, and I would like separate statistics. :-)

Just use the field Event Type to tag your orienteering (for example setting it to Race for each orienteering run). You can then use the advanced filtering on the Activities page on Garmin Connect Web, and also on the Reports page » Progress Reports, to separate the orienteering stats from ordinary trail runs.

Alternatively, you can tag the orienteering directly in the title of the activity. You can also create a custom Activity profile, and set the naming option "Activity Name" in User Settings to "Location & Device Activity Name", and the recorded activities will be tagged automatically with the name you choose for the custom Activity profile. On the Activities page, you can then use the search box to show you the list of all orienteering runs.

BTW: This is a user forum - we cannot add any new disciplnes for you, since we are ordinary users just like you. If you want to request a new functionality, do it rather by Submitting an Idea to Garmin
