Edit distance

I'm a new Garmin owner, so I'm just starting with Garmin Connect. Yesterday I did a ride on the bike trainer, just telling the unit I was indoors and not to auto-pause.

So I ended up with time, HR data, and no distance. (I don't have the speed/cadence unit.) Exactly what I'd expect.

Let the ANT+ do it's thing and download the data... open Garmin Connect... select the activity .... press edit and...

...only the activity type and event type are actually editable.

Really, Garmin?? I mean... really?

Are you kidding us?

There's no way to input the overall distance of my trainer ride?

Manual entry of entire workouts is coming soon. Hopefully that means that editing/adding distance for HR only activities is not far behind.

Yep. It is coming according to the developers. I have been working around this for well over a year. If you want to edit the distance you need to do the following:

Create in Training Center. Export to desktop. Replace the ending of the created file with what is highlighted here. Save and manual upload to GC.

It is a royal nuisance but a workable short term solution. You can also enter workouts manually by creating them in Training Center, exporting the file, and editing the ending in the same manner.

Good luck.

Not sure if you need to update any of the info in my code - try opening up one of your own GPS logs to see if any info differs.

Garmin Dev Team - you could add this work around to the site to save other users time and frustration while you are working on the permanent solution.

Hope this helps,

Editing....

I know this is an old post but on a similar issue, for some reason my garmin kept recording the distance for the drive home after my race.....very annoying and I would like to get rid of the additional distance if I can....makes me look pretty darn speedy thouugh!

If you are only concerned about correcting the information in the Summary area, you can edit that information. Click on the little pencil following the word Summary and it will go into edit mode for all summary fields.

If you want to correct the detail on the map and the graphs, then you will need help with editing your tcx file.

I've had that happen before, and for me it was sufficient to correct the summary info, to get correct summary reports by month and so forth.
