Indoor running or inline skating: can the Lap distance be set ?

Hi everybody,

I have a question regarding indoor activities, where the GPS cannot be used to compute the distance, and where there is no sensor to acquire it (like with a speed sensor on a bike). I'm looking for something somehow similar to indoor swimming - where the total distance is known because the length of the pool is known - but for running/inline skating.

I'd like to know if their exists an activity where the lap distance can be set as a parameter, so that each time the Lap button is pressed, the total distance can be computed and stored ?

For instance: I go inline skating in a skating indoor area, I set the Length of the track: 200m, I start to skate, each time I pass the end line, I press the Lap button, and at the end of my workout, I get the total distance (200m times the length of the track).

The benefit would be that the distance is automatically computed, as a function of the amount of laps, and therefore, health parameters can be computed - which is not the case where the distance has to be manually be corrected afterwards in the Garmin Connect App.

Thanks

Benoit
