Workout names differ between device and Connect

Seraph 13 days ago

Hello,

In advance - sorry if this question was previously asked, but I couldn't find answers.

My question is - why workout sent from device as "Recreational cycling" is being displayed in Connect as "Cyclocross"?

Is there way to manage this names more accurately and to display them correctly? In device or where?

Because it's kinda funny, that my free roaming on roads, parks, forests around my neighborhood is considered as cyclocross.

Oh, one thing - I know that there is an option in Connect Web for changing displayed activity name. but as i'm mostly running I want to keep track of my base, tempo etc. runs, and have them mentioned in activity title.

Greetings!

In that case, well - okay. I must try to live with it.

Hope the new assignments won't be behind premium paywall

Hello Seraph I don't know if it helps, in the account settings → Display settings there is the entry "Activity name" with the options Training name (if available), Position and type, Position and device activity name and Unnamed

Hello!

Yes, I know about this option and I want to leave it on Training name (if available) because of use running DSW.

Is there any other way, to display correctly those activities?

Also - those activities are preinstalled on device, I didn't change names on any of them.

Ah, I see, you mean the activity types – that's device-dependent, right? My 1040 has the activity types (as shown on the screen). I don't have a "Recreational Cycling" entry. Maybe it's the German setting? But I also know that Garmin sometimes makes nonsensical assignments.

I'm from Poland, so maybe translation on my language is a bit off. But exact activity for my "Recreational Cycling" is Yours "Tourenrad".

And yes, I mean activity type, which is named differently on Edge and differently on Connect app or Connect Web.

Is there any way to convince Connect to display those types correctly? Maybe there are some settings to change?

I'm afraid we have to wait until Garmin has expanded the assignment lists
