Progress report stats

Hi,

When I select the progress report and select view by month I see totals for various statistics (distance/Time etc.) per month, however if I add the average columns I get exactly the same stats for average as I do for totals, so Total distance 20miles over 5 runs and average distance 20 miles also (which obviously isn't correct) I am sure this was working correctly up to a few weeks ago, has anyone else noticed this?

exactly - how come Garmin doesn't provide that? the reports are completely useless. It looks like Garmin is intentionally restricting display of this data to 'leave space' for the likes of Strava & Co (which are paid services - could Garmin be receiving financial kickbacks?)

could Garmin be receiving financial kickbacks?

Strava and alikes pay license fees for the use of Garmin's API. They often offer features not available in Garmin Connect, reducing so the development costs on the side of Garmin, that can then rather focus on the development of their hardware, than scaling up their software team enhancing the GC interface. That's the exact purpose of the 3rd party aftermarket, so I would not really call it "kickbacks" - that's a term rather used for the corruption. And since Garmin is not financed from public funds, there is no reason accusing them from some kind of corruption.
