Default event type

Former Member over 16 years ago

It would be nice to be able to set a user defined default event type for each uploaded activity, instead of the current "uncategorized" (which probably is the least used type anyway). The activity type defaults to running as I wish, and if I could set my event type to "training" by default it would mean one less step of editing for almost all of my uploads.

Thanks,
Erik

1 years going and this still hasn't been fixed. Glad to see someone is listening.

You should not forget that this is primarily a user forum for the mutual help, not a channel for the communication with Garmin. If you have a feature request, use the form that they designed explicitely for that purpose: https://www.garmin.com/forms/ideas/. It is very unlikely that anyone from Garmin would spot the request here.

so many have requested this and everyone i know is either annoyed by it or just simply given it up as a useless function.

The default event type is 'uncategorized' which is completely meaningless.

Majority of folks would have 'fitness' or 'training' or something else as the default making it much less time consuming to always have to switch to these.

is it that difficult to allow the user to set the default???

Good that I'm not the only one how would request a fix for this.

Would be good in fact to have a dedicated gear configurable for each kind of activity.

Having only one bike set by default for all biking activities is meaningless when you are mountain bike or road biking on different gear of course...

Agreed! I have been wanting this for years!

This would be a useful feature. I hate having to go back and change all the unknowns to fitness.

Does anyone know if the default event type for an activity has been addressed yet?

I found a forum request for this feature 13 years ago. and it's hard to believe that no one has changed it, orwz that hardly anyone cares. I like analyzing data.

Forum requests are useless. You need to submit your request at Share Ideas | Garmin if you want that the suggestion has a chance to be reviewed by Garmin.
