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.

Simple trick to track gear usage in Garmin Connect is to add the name of the gear e.g. model of the shoes to the activity name, then you can filter out the activities with the name included and you have the summary for the distance and time. :D

I do this but I don't think the reporting is easy...I'd like to hear how you do it because the only way I've found is to also add some text to the activity name so that you know when you changed shoes. This way you can find the last time you replaced your shoes. You can't run a report from this, now I have to go to the Activity page and filter by both activity name (all shoes with the model name) and date (when I started using the shoes). This will give me a multipage list of results with mileage. From there I have to cut/paste each page of results into excel to add up the mileage since export to csv doesn't work correctly.

All of this isn't difficult but it's certainly not quick and Garmin should provide this as part of Connect. I hope there's an easier way and I'd love to hear it...

Agreed

Shoe tracking is a must. Please Garmin.
