Garmin Connect Automatic activity name assignment

Former Member

When synchronizing my Forerunner 620 with Garmin Connect, now an automatic name is assigned to my workout.
A week ago the assigned name was "No title".
Now it assigns a geographic location name near my city but not related to my activity.
Every activity gets the same name even if they were at different locations.

Any ideas to fix this issue?

    Yes, it's started doing that for me too. The suburb is always incorrect. How do we switch this "feature" off?

    Suburb? Mine puts me in the wrong country!

    You can't

    I've noticed the same issue. As I always edit the name anyways, it's not a big deal for me. The default selected is sometimes pretty decent, and other times, completely out of whack.
  • It's not any more work to change the name than it was when it was "untitled".

    It is slightly more work. "Untitled" is a single word, you can select it with a quick double-click. The new names are usually 2 words, which requires a click-drag to select both to replace.

    I think it is slightly better than "Untitled", but it'd be great if they allowed some user control over it. Like a simple setting to either allow the auto naming, go back to "untitled", or to provide an alternate default title.
  • If uploading and naming multiple activities, it's much easier to find "Untitled" than the names Garmin assigns to the activities.
  • For mine, it's the wrong country and city altogether. Fortunately the strava auto sync shows the right name "date"+"city"+"country". It's driving me nuts.

    Autonaming "is" a problem

    I completely agree with you. The garmin website is not good and now it auto labels incorrectly so I have to search for the unedited sessions rather than spot them easily because they were all "Untitled".
    Polar may offer less in the unit but at least the program is on your own computer although they dont have one for Mac!
    Are we really in the 21st century?
  • Is there still no solution to this 'bug'. It's annoying having my activities named 'Marianhill running' and 'Marianhill cycling'. Marianhill is nowhere close to my geographical location!
