App that ask distance before saving indoor activities

Hi,

Do you think it would be possible to create an app that can record indoor activities (like rowing or cycling or any other gym activity) and make it possible to record the distance before saving ?

When I go to the gym, the bike or the rower are telling me the distance I did but when I'm not really good at remembering it and updating it in Garmin connect after the workout (and it exports to Strava with 0 distance :-/

So, I would like to have the app prompt me for the distance just when I finish the activity (as I can do with the calibrating functionality at the end of a treadmill session).

Thanks if somebody

Unfortunately this is not possible with Connect IQ, because CIQ apps are not able to override distance recorded to the activity file in such a way that Garmin Connect will recognize it. The best they could do is record distance to a custom field which won't show up on all platforms, and which won't count for your official distance in any case.

The only way for this to happen (currently) is for Garmin to add the feature to its own built-in apps.
