List of synchronized data for choosen activity

Is there any list of data which are synchronized with mobile phone or PC?

I mean here situation that other data are synchrionized for different activity, I think.

Also, is it possible to choose those data which we want to synchronize?
  • If you use the mobile app for synchronization, then there you can find a pretty detailed log of the sync process, although I'm not entirely sure if that's what you're looking for.
  • example: for Climbing Activity I would like to have Altitude GPS not Altitude shown on graph. Is it possible to configure it?
  • Not in garmin connect. I am not sure if the watch can be configured to collect GPS altitude instead of barometric altitude, but if not, then the watch does not collect altitude data from two separate sources, and so it is not possible to select which one to upload/display in garmin connect.

    One more idea: You could try searching for an IQ data field to do that.
  • And another idea:

    Assuming you moved on the ground, you can enable "Elevation correction" for that particular activity in garmin connect. This will cause garmin connect to display elevation data from a DEM data base instead of the altitude measured by the watch.
  • When I climb not on the path but in some wall "elevation correction" is not good. because it is not follow difference of altitude. for sure it is good when you are on some trip in mountains or city. Other question: is it possible to set "elevation correction" in GCM on mobile phone?

    if I found IQ data filed to do that: the question is if those data will be collected. if not, why should I use it?

    if the watch is not able to collect data from two sources (Altimeter and Altimeter GPS) so if there is a problem with Altimeter algorithm (Atuto Calibration about which we write here: https://forums.garmin.com/forum/on-the-trail/wrist-worn/fenix-5x-plus/1413758-garmin-connect-and-wrong-information-about-speed-and-altitude then we collect wrong data in GC/GCM. who wants to get wrong data?

    Technically a data field can write data into the activity fit file, so in theory it is possible to see the data in garmin connect. Look at the description for the data field or ask the author to make sure.

    if the watch is not able to collect data from two sources (Altimeter and Altimeter GPS) so if there is a problem with Altimeter algorithm (...) then we collect wrong data in GC/GCM.


    I am quite sure the watch does not register data from two altitude sources. Problems with barometric altimeter could be circumvented by giving the user the ability to select altitude data source for a given activity. Whether the F5 gives such choice, I do not know. Anyway, this would work on the assumption that the user knows beforehand that there is a problem with altimeter. After the activity has been registered there is no possibility to select altitude data source. You are left with what has been registered.
  • Yes, I am talking about situation where you user knows what id doing. And the user is choosing way of autocalibration. Like on case you chose calibration method on manual.

    And other thing is if it is possibile to chose data which are synchronized or send to Garmin Connect. Even od I have some IQ data field I do not know how can I set up way od sending those data to Garmin Connect. Anyone knows that? Let's way: I have data field with distance or speed or GPS Altitude. And I want to set up it as data for synchronization. Is IT possibile? I don't think so. I think each Activity Has some set of data which are synchronized. But I can't find information on some user's manual which data. It could be helpful during configuration Activity on the Watch. You know what you want to get on GCM - you know what to chose on the Watch.

    All data registered during an activity are stored in a FIT file in the watch. That file is then synchronized "as is" to garmin connect. So you don't get to select what data from that file to send or not.

    Even od I have some IQ data field I do not know how can I set up way od sending those data to Garmin Connect.


    You can't. The author of the datafield decides if this datafield will store anything into the actvity's FIT file. If the datafield writes it's data to the FIT file, then it will be sent to garmin connect and displayed there. And if not, then there is no other way to do it, than to ask the datafield's author to add this capability.
