Nice to have new feature suggestions

It would be nice to see some or all of the following features added to GarminConnect.com or the mobile app:
* Default activity type (instead of each activity downloading from my Garmin as 'Uncategorised'. Is there a way to read the Garmin mode (in the case multi-sport devices) or based on the type of Garmin device to find a default? E.g. I've got my 920xt in 'Running' mode, I'd like my runs to be tagged as 'Training' by default (and I'd manually update those few that are races)
* Support for multiple gear tagging based on activity type (e.g. I have a pair of shoes for racing and a pair for training - I'd like my gear tags to auto-update when the event type changes)
* Ability to add gear without a 'first use' date, so that I can add new shoes when I buy them, which is almost always a few weeks before I start using them: athletes tend to replace gear before the old ones are completely worn out, we replace in anticipation, to have the new gear ready when the old ones finally do run out. Would be nice to have it all loaded as 'inactive' or 'not yet active' gear, that can be activated when the time comes.

Just some handy features that I find useful on other tracking sites, I believe it would add a lot of value to GC to introduce some of these features.

    Change Default Event Type from "Uncategorized"

    I agree: I have been seeing posts about this for 5 years, and for all that time, EVERY run/bike/swim I do I have to change Event Type manually from "Uncategorized" to Training. Wake Up Garmin!

    Gear Information and default activity type

    With respect to the gear, I would enjoy either to be able to add some gear without a date as specified before or set a date in the future (and not have it proposed until that date is reached, which is fine). For instance, I know that I will use my new shoes on a given date for a race.

    Also, on the listing, I would enjoy to have to the total distance for each of them (current and retired), instead of just having the first use date and the number of activities.

    Finally, the proposal to have a default activity type such as training makes a lot of sense: more than 95% of my activities are training sessions, but I need to specify it each time.
