Why is autosave happening during a break? This is awful.

During a long walk, we took a break.

Therefore I pauzed via the pauze button on my Garmin vivoactive 4.

All of a sudden, the activity was saved! This is awful, because I can't continue recording the rest of the walk. The only thing I could do is start a new walk.

After some more walking, we found a nice cafe. You guessed it: we took another break.

So I paused the walk.

Again, I missed the 30 second "auto save" warning and BOOM, again a small part of our day walk was saved! 

What is this? Why autosave is the default at all? Let me just take a nice break during a walk and continue when I press the button on the garmin watch again.

Can the sofwtare quickly be updated to fix this?

Of course, after having three walks I wanted to combine these 3 activities into one. Unfortunately, nor the app, nor the garmin website have clear options to merge activities. What is this?

Please provide this information to the developers and fix it ASAP. Thank you,

  • When I pause my activity during a hike, it automatically saves without warning, disrupting my recording. I'd appreciate an option to disable auto-save or clearer warnings before saving activities. Also merging fragmented activities within the Garmin ecosystem is challenging, making it difficult to compile a complete record of my outdoor adventures.
