Calendar View

Is there any way to use different color for different activities in the new calendar view. Everything went blue with the new redesign and it's a pain in the a.. to differentiate and find particular activities in the current calendar state. Any way to bring back the old colored activities calendar?

    Another vote to go back to the previous version Garmin!!!

    Visually its poor, i want to be able to see my activities clearly not in weak pastel colours. Its not clear for multisport users either the previous version was great why change it?

    I want to be able to see my notes not have to hover the mouse over it. I use them as a weekly countdown to races..
  • Gutted. I've been a heavy user of Garmin Connect Calendar View for years and almost immediately it became my primary repository of my sporting activities despite my coach and others trying to persuade me to use other software. Nothing else had the simplicity and visual satisfaction of the colour-coded activities and now it's gone. Total disaster. Unless this feature is brought back, I'm off. I've bought 5 high-end Garmin devices in the last 4 years and this step backwards is going to make it harder for Garmin to keep me as a customer.


    Add me to the list of those who despise this new calendar format. It is Horrible. I feel the same way as this person quoted above. I need my activity titles AND different color coding. I loved the old calendar. This one is useless. The inmy good part is the weekly/monthly totals block. Sigh.... :-(
  • Also Adding my name to the long list of displeased users. Others have mentioned the faults but to mention a few of the worst:

    1. "At a glance" info is nearly useless. eg. Was my 10mile effort on Tuesday a 1mile Warmup+ 8xMile track interval+ 1mile cooldown .... or easy 10miler? .... Hey GARMIN, there is a difference to the athletes training with your products!
    2. Notes are now invisible ... I used to input when I took days off and why ... scheduled, work conflict, sick, injured, travel? ... now I have to hover the arrow over the little icon in the corner
    3. Jumping back months/years to compare activity in traning cycles is now tedious ... month by month

    The best thing you have done however is allow at a glace filtering ... As a runner 90% of the time, it was annoying to have a once a week 30mile bike ride throw off the totals. Too bad you trashed the whole page adding this useful feature in.

    Please sort it out. The current calander page is totally useless for those of us who train seriously and like data. You know...your customers.

    Edit: Actually, this is now easier to do with the yearly tab - Nice Job!
  • Excellent - all sorted, the colours are BACK. Thanks Garmin. You scared the **** out of me. D

    Yeah thank you to listen to us it's really appreciated. The only thing missing now is seeing the Title of the note. Often I will write a single word like "massage" now I have to go over it.

    Thanks again
  • Very nice. I even like the colors better than before :).
