How can Can I get VO2 Max report with Forerunner 220?

The owner's manual for the Garmin Forerunner 220 has this in the "Garmin Connect" section:

You can view more detailed information
about your activity, including time, distance, elevation, heart
rate, calories burned, cadence, VO2 max., running dynamics,
an overhead map view, pace and speed charts, and
customizable reports.

But, that is the ONLY place in the owner's manual where VO2 Max is mentioned. There are no instructions on how to set it up.

Garmin Connect Web has a VO2 Max report available. But, it is empty. I have no idea how to set it up or use it.

Forerunner 220 does not support the feature of VO₂max. You need a newer model for that.

Thanks. I guess that is an error in the owner's manual. Maybe they copied and pasted from a model that did have it, and forgot to delete that. B

But, I wonder if Garmin Connect could calculate VO2 Max from the data the FR 220 does record?

No, Garmin Connect does no such data processing. You can use an external tool for that - for example Runalyze can be linked with Garmin Connect, and will calculate the VO₂max.
