Equipment tracker

I continue to track gear by entering shoe information in the description field of my GC activities. When gear tracking becomes a part of GC (see quote below), at least I'll be ready.

Re: Suggestion: A field to record which shoe used?

Yup, gear tracking is a planned enhancement.

    I agree. I can't beleive how long people have been asking for this basic feature with no progress.
  • Another one...

    Please please please implement shoes / equipment tracking in GC. This is one of the really missing features for any serious athlete.

    Will there every be a response from Garmin?

    Equipment Tracker

    Just notice that it has been well over one year since this tread was started and still no Equipment tracker update. Thanks for providing the forum and making us feel like we have some input in your products and then taking your sweet time on follow through. Use the Goals prompt on your watches and get cracking on the improvements...:eek:

    Not sure it exists, but it would be nice with a public roadmap for garmin connect, then users (CUSTOMERS!) could see what Garmin is actually doing (or at least planning) with Connect. right now it seems like it's small tweaks (to be honest I don't care if it's google maps, bing or ..).

    Shoes/Equipment tracker, please! +100,000,000,000,000

    Just got the 410 - very cool! Just realized I can't track shoe mileage, not cool. I will do it for you for free for garmin connect - java? plsql? Whatever it is, contact me and I will add it!.
    As a side note, the sooner you open up the tool to the public - both Connect and Training Center, the better they and your products will be. You'll be able to create products based on what the customers really want out of their tools, which will be evident in the software they publish. Look at all the success stories out there...openoffice, java, linux, mozzilla, apache.etc, etc....
    Your products are used by such a diverse crowd, yet there are universal needs in this crowd. Opening up the software will allow for these needs to not only make it in to the software, but get it in faster. You already own the market for GPS watches - hands down. Why not own the market for the entire package? Sure people can go elsewhere and get software that meets their needs, but should they have to? What if everything you needed was available, or easily added by your company? Pretty powerful. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for listening.

    yes, please add shoe mileage tracking

    I just bought my Forerunner 305 and started using this site. I love this site! But, I'm still having to use a separate log for my shoe mileage. I have set myself up on RunningAhead.com due to the shoe tracking capability they have, however, I like the look/feel of this site better.
    Please do add the functionality to keep equipment/shoes used on activities including tracking of shoe mileage. Allow multiple pairs of shoes to be active for folks who switch..
    RunningAhead.com does this, several other free sites do as well so at least the models of how it can and should work are out there.
    Thanks for having this area of the forum for us to ask for new features!

  • Tracker and maintenance log

    For bikes it would be fantastic to be able to track components at a greater level of detail.

    For example, I would like to enter chain and tyre replacements, wheel replacements, casette replacements and so on and so forth.

    Clearly the level of detail, or the number of components in the set of equipment that the user wants to use to make up the bike will differ from user to user.

    Being able to log a truing of a wheel for example would be nice. It is not equipment replacement as such, but it is a re-occurring event and it is interesting to know how often this happens.
