Well, thats about covers it. I really would like to have an native app for XC skiing. And also for MTB and indoor workout, but those I can cope without. Skiing - not. Please, please please make one for me - and all the other skiiers

    Well, just some simple app to log cross training or circuit training. Maybe just a timelog, combined with calories or something like that. I´m not really in that - it is friends of mine that really would like that. But what do you think about cross country skiing? It could actually be the exact same app ass running, but I want to be able to log it as skiing - of course I can edit it in Garmin Connect, but it would be great to log it native.

    What device? And you mean something other than the "XC Ski" activity type that's already on my Epix and presumably on the Fenix 3? I haven't had a chance to use it yet (not much chance of snow until December), but just having customized the data fields it looks like it will work fine.

    Vivoactive - seems to lack xc skiing
  • Yes, you're more limited with the Vivoactive. You might want to ask on one of the ConnectIQ forums; maybe a developer will take an interest. What would you want it to do that, say, the "Run" activity doesn't on the Vivoactive?

    Ehh, I thought this was the Connect IQ forum? Sorry! Where would I put it instead?

    Please develop!!!

    Hi,

    I'm also very eager to have an XC Skiing app on my Vivoactive. Is there someone that have the developing skills I can contribute with logic and testing.

    It's a second year I will have to manually change the type of activity after upload from my 920xt. Garmin even made ads with skiing and 920xt, but no skiing profile.
    ConnectIQ is our last hope :rolleyes:
  • Still need a XC App

    Seriously, we need an app for nordic. One each for Skate and Classic.

    It doesn't need to be fancy, just having the app post to Garmin Connect as Nordic Skate or Classic instead of "other" would be a godsend, and to have it not interfere with the running VO2 calculations.

    - The VO2 info would be nice, but I'm unsure where to get the profiles from.
    - Cadence would be interesting, the running pod should work for that.
    - I know calorie burn tables for nordic are out there, and that Garmin has used them before.

    Tell me where to send money.
