Yup, gear tracking is a planned enhancement.

Yup, gear tracking is a planned enhancement.
I really prefer Connect more than other (payed) services.
It has everything I need, it's reliable, fast, intuitive, keeps getting new features...
Well, almost everything to be exact - not being able to track mileage makes my life hard.
I don't know why Garmin does not want to make (at least trivial) gear tracking, maybe they want to make it something bigger...
Anyway, I decided to make myself application to allow me to track my gear using data from Garmin Connect API
Like previously suggested here I put gear mark in activity name, so I created app that will get all my activities and sum data by some custom filter.
App will work with any field (description for example) and any kind of filter (contains, starts with, ends with, etc...)
There is also bunch of other stuff you can do.

If you think it can help you also, you can download app from ">HERE">HERE.
If someone from Garmin thinks that this is not cool let me know.
Regards.
I can't believe Garmin can do all the things they do to keep the market edge (E.g. release a new version of Connect, release the vivofit, phase out the training center, taking over Tritronics, etc.) yet NOT give the users something as simple as a gear tracker which we have all asked for (after 5-6 years now I believe). Unreal... please Garmin listen to the masses!
Two different threads in this regard with over 30 pages dating back 5-6 years with not even a simple response dated within the past year from a moderator (which doesn't even mean much)... what message does that continue to send to users? Unreal... the Suunto Ambit looks better and better each day!
New version 1.004
- updated API calling routines to work with Connect API after recent changes
Available on the same download link.
