Garmin Connect + Edge + Vivosmart HR+ = issues

Hi,

For several years I've been using a Garmin Forerunner 405CX for running and a Garmin Edge 510 for cycling. Last year I bought a Fitbit Charge HR to track steps, heart rate and sleep, but the idea of having my data splitted between two diferent services was really annoying. So last week I replaced my Fitbit and my old Forerunner by a Garmin Vivosmart HR+.

I'm new in Garmin's tracking solution and because of that I don't know if there are some "functional limitations in Garmin Connect" or if I'm doing something wrong... but I found this issues:

1. Sleep/Naps.
Fitbit Charge HR registers naps automatically very well. Unfortunatelly, Vivosmart HR+ does not record my naps by itself. I found a "Nap" option in Garmin Connect sleep summary but I have no idea how to edit that.

2. Intensity Minutes
I usually leave the Vivosmart HR+ at home when I'm cycling (my Garmin Edge 510 does all the job). Why does my activity registered by the Garmin Edge does not count as Intensity Minutes in Garmin Connect?

3. Heart Rate from Edge x Heart Rate from Vivosmart
As the issue above, the Garmin Connect's Heart Rate timeline does not show the data recorded from Garmin Edge. It only shows a constant low heart rate (probably my resting hr) and a "mark" of activity. Is it possible to "mix" the data in timeline?

Best Regards,
Seidi
