Actions/Activities are not named correctly after upload on carmin connect

… it says "Noutopiste Juoksu".

Also I have action other which is renamed to "kävely"(walk), after upload on garmin connect its "Smartpost Muu".

Does “muu” mean “other”, being the activity type you've selected?

Why its not same as on watch?

The name you give a custom activity profile on a Garmin device means nothing to the Garmin Connect platform; it's the activity type that gets transmitted during an activity data upload.

Yes that is exactly the same problem I'm having. Yes "muu" is other. Custom profile should be same also in Garmin Connect, otherwise you have to rename it everytime, that's annoying. Maybe in future updates...

Custom profile should be same also in Garmin Connect,

No name is recorded in the activity data that is subsequently uploaded to Garmin Connect service, so your assertion of “should” really doesn't stand up technically. Whatever you name your profiles is not visible to Garmin Connect; and, put another way, nobody else cares what you named them.

Garmin Connect names every uploaded activity by the activity type, and also the location if GPS information is available and you asked it to use the information for the automatic naming, to make it slightly easier to distinguish activities from each other.

otherwise you have to rename it everytime,

You don't have to, though. You do because you want to. I let Garmin Connect name my runs automatically, even if it's a mess and it's quite wrong, e.g. “Queen Victoria Building running” even though I wasn't anywhere near QVB. If I want it to be neat, then I make work for myself; that's not Garmin's shortcoming or fault.

Thanks for the help.

Any idea why the gps location is not correct? Its always saying eather smartpost run or noutopiste run. I live in Seinäjoki Finland. Should it be Seinäjoki run, or like Helsinki run? I don't understand what the noutopiste or smartpost means...

I've had the same issue for more than a year, happen to live relative closely to you (right outside of Vaasa). Smartpost are the 'package automates' (pakettiautomaatti) that quite often are located in Prisma, Citymarket etc.
Why Garmin picks these instead of the village/city/etc name I don't know, perhaps they take map data through Finnish Post (Itella/Posti)?

Yes, that explains it. Option for villaga/city gps location would be better in this case. Thanks for the clarification.

Auto naming also does some strange things in UK - it often uses names of local election areas rather than geographical areas - these are largely meaningless to your average man in the street
