Even though Garmin Connect FINALLY added gear tracking, it is basically useless unless you only run in a single pair of shoes. A lot of runners (myself included) rotate different pairs of shoes, so I don't have my shoes added to each activity automatically. The only way to add in the gear is to manually go back into the web version of Garmin Connect, go into each specific activity, and add the gear. There's no way to do this via the app and the app doesn't show if gear is even added to the activity or not.
I'd like to have a way to go into the summary screen in the app for an activity and show what gear was used. If none, have a way to add in gear. Having the gear feature but not being able to access it at all via the app is basically pointless for those of us that do most things on GC on the app and not on the web version.
