WALKING activity change?

Using my Vivoactive 4 and Garmin's WALK INDOOR app, which is NOT the TREADMILL app.

The activity card in Garmin Connect changed since I did a WALK INDOOR yesterday (5/17).
Today (5/18) I did a WALK INDOOR and now it shows CADENCE which was not there yesterday.

And to make it totaly useless, the chart compares my steps per minute (SPM) to the percentage of RUNNERS that occupy each zone "to compare my performance". Walking vs Running performance? Huh?

Anybody else see this?

    If you read the HELP on the chart graph it's compairing your walking Steps/minute to running. Which I can't see the use for since we already have PACE.

    The examples I gave you were for stop/go around a short track with someone recovering from knee surgery and I thought maybe the weird cadence was somehow do something.

    So I'm going to LOCK the activities now.

    Thanks for your help in verfiying that something changed.

    Well, it may be a very valuable information for example for competitive athletes in speed walking. But also for ordinary walking, the cadence may be interesting to see. You do not need to compare it to the running cadence, that's indeed useless, but the graph gives you some extra info anyway.

    Yes, you could be right. And since it's there to stay, I may dive deeper into it because my normal walks are a mix of speed walking and normal pacing so I'll look at that next time.

    Nice of Garmin to let us know that it changed overnight....

    Thanks again.

    Personally I think it was added by mistake, and that it may equally silently disappear again.

    Well, you called that. Garmin givith and Garmin taketh away.

    Recorded a walk at 9:52 am cadence was there, recorded another at 12:36 pm and it was gone. (GMT-4)
