There are some really annoying Garmin Connect bugs that need to be fixed please:
1) Why do all activities go as 'untitled' by default? Why Should I even have to name every single daily activity, even after I have already categorized it as treadmill or street running, strength training, etc. Seems like an unessasary step. This field is REQUIRED if you add a manual activity on the Garmin Connect website, but NOT required on the Garmin Connect app. That doesn't make any sense. You should be able to have a default list to pick from, or create your own. See next point below.
2) I usually categorize my runs (or bike rides) as a certain type: easy ride, medium effort, speed workout, long run, etc. Why can't I categorize it this way on Garmin Connect (and create my own custom types)? Seems like a basic feature that most athletes would want to track not only total miles, duration, or total times you ran, but amount within each category of a workout. How many long runs, speed workouts, etc did you have last month? These are important reporting elements that most athletes would want and expect from Garmin. I would want my auto imported activites to go into a certain category that I could edit or pick from my custom list instead of all being 'untitled'. Manual activities should have the same options.
3) Why is there no copy and paste button for activities? I often add manual activities when I run without a watch or GPS, or on a treadmill, but I can't just copy and paste a previous one and change the mileage or duration. This would make adding manual activities so much faster.
4) Lastly, these are minor website bugs:The navigation on the garmin connect website is really awful and not user friendly. On the slide out navigation bar (top left), there is no dashboard button. Additionally, when you view the details of an activity (or after you add a manual one by clicking save), you arrive at a window showing just that activity's info. There is no way to do anything else except play with that activity / edit it's info. You can't 'close' it and go back to the activity list. You can only click and go forward or back one activity, but in order to go back to the activity list you have to go back to the main navigational slide out menu, and click activities again, and then it waits about 5 seconds to load the list. Finally, when you go to your calendar, and you have strength training activites, it still shows under each one a distance of 0 and a time of 0 (assuming you didn't enter those). It just looks sloppy and should only show info that is entered within each activity on the calendar.
It seems like Garmin just skipped the user testing on the website, these are all pretty small things I hope they update to make Garmin Connect a more usable and useful tool. Thank you!!
