Garmin information change

xbrenx

Hi

I have a Garmin Forerunner 25.
I'd like to be able to track walking the same way I do running so I get a route and times etc as opposed to step counting. On Garmin Connect it always uses a title - This Town Running and all I'd like to do is switch that to This Town Walking, I know it can be edited but is there a way to change the activity from running to walking?

I hope that makes sense

On my Garmin I just select walk / hike rather than run and it labels it as such. I presume that will be the same on other ones.

Thanks for that - I'm guessing mine doesn't then, as I can't find it anywhere.

Mine is a multi activity watch.
However you can change the activity type in garmin connect after it syncs.

Yup, when you edit your activity it'll give you the option to edit activity type. Just select either "Casual Walking" or "Speed Walking". Just tried this on Android/iOS/osX.

I use a Hike IQ App to record mine - does it support Apps?

No, unfortunately.

I'll have to get my head round Garmin Connect new interface, I can't find anything anymore!

Thanks everyone for the replies
