Amazing Feature: Multisports on the fly

Enter Settings->System->Hot Keys

Change any hotkey (I chose "Hold START") to "Change Sport".

Now you can start any activity, hold the hotkey and change the activity type. Multisports made easy!

Awesome!

Do you have an example on the Connect site of one of your "on the fly" multisports? I'd like to see how it tracks :)

Multisport File

Hello,

here I have a multisport file, where I started another sport on the fly - with the hotkey.

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1628844253

I was running but I didnt felt good so I changed to walking.

Worked perfect

Do you Strava? I'd be interested to see what Strava and other sites make of a mixed sport activity. Guess I'll have to try one.

If it works like the 735 then Strava splits a multi sports activity into individual components, even the transitions. Its really annoying!

yes, I have a strava account. Strava splits the mulitsport acitivty up into 2 different activities. one for running and one for walking.

This is very cool. Thanks!

Do the reports and widgets in Garmin Connect treat this appropriately? If you do an on-the-fly multisport run/walk, like displayed here, will Connect tell you how many miles you actually ran for the month and update your gear and all of that?

If so, this could be useful for me.
