RSS feed should show activities from all devices

Former Member over 14 years ago

I asked a question on the forum about why activities from my FR60 won't show in the rss feed on Garmin Connect. You can find the thread here: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?t=15318

I didn't get any answers so I contacted Garmin Support directly and eventually got this answer

Thank you for contacting Garmin Europe.
I am sorry for your difficulties. Having researched your problem
further, I have discovered that you require a GPS log to use the RSS
feeds. So I am afraid your cannot use the FR60. These rules apply for
any activities in the RSS feed:
? It is a GPS activity.
? Activity Type is categorized (e.g. Trail Running).
? The activity has an Activity Name (e.g. Tahoe Rim Trail).
? The activity is Public.

I don't really understand why you should need a gps activity for the rss feed to update properly, so my feature request is simply to enable the rss feed functionality for ALL devices.

I realized the same single thing when I was uploading my hometrainer activities. Only sulutions I can come up with is to leave the GPS turned on during your indoor activities.
I don't think this really is a feature request, this is a request for a bugfix in my eyes...

The FR60 isn't a gps device so there is nothing to be enabled unfortunately.

I see no point why only activities with gps tracks should show in the feed anyway.

me too - i would like to see rss feeds for none-gps activities, i use FR305 and when indoors will disable GPS, so no rss feeds for these activities - sounds like a bugfix is required...

Another noob here who's like to see FR60 non GPS activities available in the RSS feed. I was wondering why I was getting no results. Now I know why. :(

RSS Should be for All Activities

This is one rule that doesn't make a lot of sense. I switched from a Polar device to a Garmin to track my Running, Cycling, Kung Fu and other Cross Training activities. When I use my Forerunner 610, it will continue to look for a satellite if Outdoors is selected. This is a but and it needs to be fixed.

Garmin what are you doing to do about this bug?
