Intensity minutes and Floors - where are they in Garmin Connect?

Former Member over 9 years ago

I have a Foreunner 235 and the 'My Day' view of Garmin Connect just shows Steps, Sleep, Active Calories and Activities.

How do I get Intensity Minutes and Floors to show on this screen?

I am using Garmin Connect v3.6.0.1 on Android v6.0.1

thanks

The altimeter is a sensor. It's a barometric pressure sensor eg http://www.nxp.com/products/sensors/pressure-sensors/barometric-pressure-15-to-115-kpa/20-to-110kpa-absolute-digital-pressure-sensor:MPL3115A2?lang_cd=en which uses changes in pressure to measure elevation.

Thanks for the info - I was thinking about motion type sensors. I wonder if they use a combination though, it would be hard to differentiate between a steep hill and steps with just an altimeter.

There seems to be a time component - how fast you are changing elevation. I live near a bridge that has both stairs and a ramp, and I'll get floors on the stairs but not the ramp. The elevation change is the same, and more steps taken on the ramp, but it's far faster to take the stairs.

Assume that the algorithm can filter out escalators - perhaps it would ignore if no arm swing.

I'm guessing it's the baro data, step data, and time in come combination.
