Why are activities suddenly named Smartpost?

Since 15 August all my runs are called 'Smartpost...' instead of earlier the location? See attached screenshot. I've not changed any settings in Garmin Connect or other Garmin-related software.
How to change this back so that the location is automatically part of the activity name?
I know I can manually change the activity name, but why do that when it worked earlier...

I have same problem

I don´t have any idea why are activities named Smartport. Did you find any solution?

My activities went back to being called untitled for a while but now are being named again.

No solution found yet.
I was a few days ago running in a place 150 kilometers from my home and then Garmin at least did not call it Smartpost. Instead it took the name of a village 10-15 kilometers away from where I was. This was at least better, but still incorrect as there was a larger city and other villages much closer.
After returning home, my consecutive runs are still called Smartpost. There is no place called Smartpost in the whole country...

I asked about this from the Finnish Garmin support. They suggested that I should just rename all of the activities that are named incorrectly... Later they emailed me and asked me to send the activity file and link to them. It's been couple of weeks and no reply...

Ok, thx for informing, let's see if/when something happens...

On GC user settings>display preferences, you can set if new activities remain untitled, or are given a location-type name.

Thx, I actually knew this. The issue is that earlier the location-type naming was working quite good, but suddenly most of my activities are called Smartpost regardless of where they have taken place. In the end, it's not really a big deal for me as 99% of my activities start from my front door.
