Feature request: recalculate stats when adding new segments

Former Member over 5 years ago

Since Strava decided to alienate most of their users and force their hand to pay for subscription, Garmin Connect became a possible alternative for Strava. The segment feature in Connect looks quite rudimentary, main feature that is lacking is to match old routes to newly created segments. Current feature to manually recalculate for one route at a time is unusable, I cannot easily find or remember when I completed a newly added segment in the past. Automatic matching would be nice at least for own route, although globally would be nicer.

Well, it is true, it is not very user friendly if you need to add a segment to hundreds of runs, but personally I've been adding segments to a year worth of activities, and it was not that bad. I simply opened the All Activities page, selected the Run category, and filtered them by the location. Then I opened a dozen of them at a time in separate tabs (Ctrl-click), and on the individual tabs with the activity details, I pressed the button for matching segments. Once done, and verified, I closed the tabs, and repeated it with the next dozen.

Rechecking all the year worth of actvities took some 10 perhaps 15 minutes. So yes, it takes a bit of time, and is not as simple as pushing a single button, but it is also not a task you need to do all the time, so I'd tell it is a pretty acceptable solution.
