Boating activity

Am I wrong, or Boating app is disappeared from the list of available activity profiles? I used it regularly with my FR 935, however I can't find it in the FR 945. Why?

I was also looking for it this morning and couldn't find it. Hopefully something Garmin can add back soon.

Below is what the support team told me... They want you to create a custom activity profile. It's not a real solution though because some of the metrics like "Nautical Distance" don't seem to be available…

Dunno, but try to copy the .fit from 935 and see what happens? :)

Thanks, but I think it should be there without any hack!

Did anyone write to support about this? I was also looking for it...

I just submitted an email request to the support team. Will update here with their response.

It's not a real solution though because some of the metrics like "Nautical Distance" don't seem to be available in the data picker. I might give them a call this week, I would encourage others to raise the issue with support.

You can create a custom activity profile on your watch by following the instructions at this page:

https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner945/EN-US/GUID-7B574BD8-05BB-410D-9A2A-7646D0B037B6.html

And if you'd like to submit an idea to Garmin, you can do so at this link: www.garmin.com/ideas

If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Did you get anywhere with this? I want this app back too

They told me that there was nothing they could do and I should submit it to the ideas page... I would recommend shooting support an email and maybe also submitting it to the ideas page. The more people raise the issue the higher a priority it will become.

The key point to mention is that the Activity cannot be replicated using the "custom activity profile" because some of the data metrics are not available within the custom activity profile builder.
