Hi everyone,
I recently submitted a feature request to Garmin: the ability for watches to automatically trigger laps or intermediate times when passing predefined GPS pins/POIs placed on the watch or in Garmin Connect when planning routes.
Why it would be useful:
-
No manual lap presses needed, even in cold or difficult conditions (e.g., gloves).
-
Precise tracking of custom segments, even with varying distances.
-
Average metrics per lap (speed, heart rate, power, etc.) calculated automatically.
-
Prevents missed intermediate times on longer courses.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
-
Would this feature be useful for your sport (paddling, running, cycling, triathlon)?
-
Do you think Garmin should implement it as a built-in function?
Please reply or give a “Kudos” if you support this idea — the more interest Garmin sees, the higher the chance they’ll prioritize it!
Thanks!
Miloš
