Reports - Progress Summary - Main & Sub Activity Types

Wednesday, October 24, 2018, 10:47 AM

After also experiencing frustration with Garmin's decision to change the Reporting feature in Garmin Connect and after seeing many other loyal Garmin users expressing similar sentiments, I decided to call Garmin Support this morning. Once I explained the feature of detail sub-category reports not being available now, he spoke to his supervisor and said that yes indeed this change was made to higher levels category reporting. I expressed my dismay with Garmin stating that I have several Garmin tracking devices and that I relied heavily on the details reports I used to be able to create.


I also stated to the Garmin Support chap that if I cannot get the data in report formats liked I used to I want to go back to a Garmin Connect App version that will allow me to do that - his answer "not possible". Prior to the so called "new & improved" Garmin Connect, I recall I used to use a bit clunky but it worked Garmin software that would let me do a variety of things. This software did not have the fancy bells and whistles of the current GC software but I was able to get the data out in the manner I sought. I wish even that rudimentary software was still available.


I think my next step will be, as per forum poster Will Schuurman (07-23-2018), to submit a request to www.garmin.com/ideas asking for restored functionality.

My Request to Restore functionality posted to Garmin Ideas web portal www.garmin.com/ideas


Several months ago Garmin "took away' a reporting feature in Garmin Connect, a feature that based on Garmin Forum posts, was used by a large community of Garmin loyalists. Please refer to this forum

link:https://forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/garmin-connect/feature-requests/1360625-reports-progress-summary-main-sub-activity-types

Please restore the detailed sub-category Report features, we have $1,000's of invested dollars in Garmin products. Your loyal Garmin users require back this functionality, please help us out here.

Agree this is needed. I want to report Progress Summary grouped by month for Road Bike only, without Virtual cycling. Just need the option to filter by sub-category. Thanks!

I also lost the whole statistics based on subcategories (road biking, montain biking, ...). Need this option back. Thanks.

This is what I miss this end of the year:

(old progress summary option "per activity type")

Does somebody knows an alternative to easily count elevation gain "per bike" and/or "per activity type"?
Thanks.

Hello,

I am receiving all sorts of reports from my cycling friends from the past year.
Now it turns out that Garmin is not able to have an overview with my mtb, road and indoor data.
I feel really stupid having bought an expensive Edge 1030.

Years of data with Kayaking downloaded from my Garmin 910xt. Now I have to list it as paddling? 50 Shades of disappointment!

This boggles my mind. I participate in a number of different cycling activities, Road, Mountain biking, Cyclocross, Indoor Cycling, etc. and have for years use reports to look at summaries for these different activities. Now, of course, their all lumped together and I can no longer do that.

You would think that among Garmin developers and marketing, there would be some active users of Garmin sports products and Garmin Connect who would understand this.

I am also waiting back this feature. Doing 'crosscountry' skiing and 'skate-skiing' under Other. And like to know how much done those separately.
Currently only way to take csv file and calculate myself.

Found that they have API for data, but license fee is $5000. (I was first to think about to make my own system, but this fee is too much for me).

If they cannot bring this feature back during this spring, have to by new system from some other branch to next winter.
