New Badges

Question

I quite like the new badges, although losing sight of my step badges is annoying. I do note that the badges are very heavily weighted towards stepping, running and cycling. Where are all the swimming badges? I would have thought that some of the usual open water and pool swim distances would be worthy of a badge. Come on Garmin...there's a badge for a drone activity but not for a 1 mile swim? Not convinced that flying a drone does much for your fitness.

 Virtual Climb - Mist Trail - Record a floor climbing activity with 1,000 feet of ascent. 
 Virtual Climb - Druid Arch - Record a floor climbing activity with 735 feet of ascent. 
 Virtual Climb - The Narrows - Record a floor climbing activity with 334 feet of ascent. 
 BTW, if anyone wondered, whether you can get multiple floor climb badges for a single activity, then the answer is No, you cannot . I just did my 1500ft climb, and got only the highest badge, not the smaller ones.

LAKATAK said: Take a look at the graph in my previous post. 
 No, you do not see the Elevation Gain in the Garmin Connect Mobile app. You only see the min and max elevation which do not reveal anything, especially if you repeat going down and up. As I wrote, you have to look at Garmin Connect Web, to see the full info, including the Elevation Gain. 
 The fact that your altimeter stopped working in the middle happened most likely because the opening ot the pressure sensor got clogged with your sweat. You have to dry it out frequently during any activity, if you want reliable data. Check out some more tips in this thread: What's the secret to tracking stairs accurately?

Many more new badges available recently. See the list below. 
 I guess that the indoors badges are limited for the time of the Covid19 outbreak, and as long as the outdoors activities are limited in some countries. For the moment no dates were announced, so I guess they disable them later, when the situation settles down. You better hurry to get them, though, you never know
