Feature request: Add cycling to "auto start activity"

Former Member over 5 years ago

I know that there is MoveIQ which appears to fairly reliably record a cycling activity (although without full data fields like HR and ascent etc).

I also know that walking and running can automatically trigger a full-size activity (with GPS etc).

I can't see why the reason for omitting the option to do the same with cycling as a trigger.

Can this please be added as an option?

I do a lot of cycling but have to pause, select it as an activity and wait for GPS lock before setting off. I use the watch in broadcast-HR mode during the activity so my bike GPS unit gets my HR. This all works well, but it should be automatic really.

Thanks

Why not just start the activity manually? You can set it as a favorite and get to it with little effort, while getting a GPS lock fairly quickly.

I used to have watch (Basis) who supposed to do that, never worked properly. Users requested opposite, to add manual start. Apparently it's not easy to implement feature properly but yeah would be nice to have it as an option.
