Type of activity at tracking while navigation

Dear all,

At first sorry for bothering you in worst case, but I couldn't find anything with search.

How can I change the type of activity while tracking in navigation?
I'm starting a navigation (e.g. followings route). Pressing the start button while navigation will start the record of track. After pressing again, tracking is stopped.
After saving the activity it will be shown as "other" activity in connect app. Also my calculated burned calories will be based on activity "others". Of course I can change the type after that by hand (e.g. mountain bike) but I have to change the calories by hand ,too.

Any possibility to change the type in advance?

Start your activity first. Then start navigation afterwards.

Thanks for the helping. But how can I start? Pressing start button for selecting navigation while running tracking will stop the tracking ?

Edit: Problem solved. While tracking select the map an press the menu button for a long time.

Thanks a lot for help ;-)

Another advantage to selecting your activity type first is that you can change your navigation objectives repeatedly during the activity - eg navigate back to start, navigate to a waypoint, pick a new course etc. All without impacting the running activity.

I had the same Problem, thank you very much for your help.I think that has to be better documented so i dont have to search two year old Forum posts to find an answer to that.
