Navigation doesn't count into fitness level and health status

I was wondering if it is possible that using navigation while running counts into personal fitness status.
Whenever I am visiting new places I define a navigation track for running. But until now these runs have no influence to the personal statistics/VO2 max. Is there a fix planned for that?

Are you using The Trail Run activity?

Not sure, I will check later. But I think that I am using the Navigation activity where I uploaded my tracks.

So Navigation isn’t an activity, Run, Trial Run, Bike etc are. The reason I ask is, if you use Trail Run then the activity doesn’t affect VO2Max. Also what do you mean by 'personal statistics'?

Navigate is an activity, but it doesn't track any of the run stats. "Navigate" is for hiking or adventuring. You should not be using that to run with. Start a regular run app and then long press the "UP" button. Scroll down to navigation and select the course you created. This will allow you to do the regular "Run" or "Bike" activity, get all the stats, and still navigate a pre-designated course.

Ah, that’ll be it. You need to start an activity and start navigation...
