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?
I'm neither here nor there on the new calendar, but the old one seemed fine. All my Garmin 310XT files with current firmware are uploading to the 1/4/2007 since the update though and that's not a good thing. What has gone wrong? Is this a separate bug that I should see a separate thread about?
Just want to add my vote for the old calendar view - losing the colour coding for each activity (swim, bike, run and core) is a big disappointment and the smaller text is just a pain. This is not an improvement Garmin, please listen to your customers and switch to the previous look with the new features added. I want clear, colour coded blocks for each activity as before, it was a great view, the new one is just poor. Your software is the reason I decided to stick with garmin, if it stays like this then I'll look elsewhere when the time comes to upgrade.
I cannot believe anyone at Garmin thought this new calendar was an improvement. This used to be the best feature, and now it is so useless I'm not sure I'll even use Connect at all.
Fail 1. All activities are the same colour. I'm a runner but I do cycling, walking, and strength training and now it's more difficult to differentiate between them.
Fail 2. You can't see the activity title. I need to see easily which is a steady run and which a speed session, which a solo run and which a club session.
Fail 3. You can't see the full activity time in month view.
Fail 4. There is now an extra faffy step to edit activities.
Fail 5. Why do we want to drag and drop activities when our Garmins record what time and date they were done? It would be much more useful to be able to copy activities (e.g. a manual strength training activity you do every week).
Garmin, this note's for you: we liked it the way it was! Please change it back.
Agree, the new calendar is a huge step backwards. With the previous one I used to plan my workouts by adding notes with the details of each workout. I could also track previous workouts by looking at their title (e.g. Tempo run 20'). Now the notes and titles are not visible anymore in calendar view... Please change it back! Btw I know this has been mentioned a couple of times already but a shoes tracker would have been a much better improvement than a new calendar view.
I totally agree with you guys. The new calendar is BS! I want to be able to see the title of each activity in the calendar overview.
I'd like to encourage everyone to go to http://www8.garmin.com/contact-us/ and give Garmin the feedback they deserve for messing up the calendar view. The more people who do this the greater chance of getting the old calendar back....
Biggest dislike of the new Calender, not being to assign a different color to each different activity or having a diferent color for each activity like the old calender, other then That I kina don't mind It..... Please Garmin Bring back the different activity Colors or at least give us the option to assign different colors to different activeties.
Agreed. I was initially happy with the redesign, because automatic monthly and yearly totals is quite nice, but the lack of color coding by activity is a huge loss. Also, in addition to less noticeable sport distinctions, you can't see the name of the activity, and if you have weekly totals displayed, you can't see the duration. One step forward, two steps back.

I agree! I am missing the colour coding of the different activities already! The rest of the calendar is OK with me.
