I just went into GC and looked at my "Sports" tab and found that there is an area to add other activities not captured by a Garmin device. Yay!...but i can't get it to work at present.

I am really excited about this and I did write to them not long ago about this. When it works I can use my Polar products for some activities and then have the reports in one place....Bliss!!

Has anyone else been successful at adding another activity? I keep getting an error message that it hasn't saved the "Add Manual Activity" that I added.

BTW, I am Polly274 on GC. Feel free to add me.

    I think this has something to do with the (hopefully) soon to be released update to the MFP-Garmin connection. MFP have confirmed that they will be sending other activities to Garmin Connect. I've had several emails back and forth with MFP support but I get the feeling that no one really knows what the final solution will be.

    I'm fairly sure this is more business than technically driven.

    Thanks veloman21. It would be handy for information to flow both ways as I could keep Runtastic apps connected to MFP too.

    Looks like rides are now being posted from Garmin Connect directly to MFP as of today. Finally!! So bike rides, runs etc along with Vivofit data will now show up as exercises in MFP. Hopefully any other activity entered into Connect will also come across if not now then soon?

    I've been logging the calorie count per my Garmin 610 (that I wear with the chest strap when I run), but then the vivofit had been adding an adjustment to it for the day. Well today, it added the entire amount for some reason to it's adjustment (so ran 5 miles, I entered a 5 mile run and 475 calories, with a vivofit adj for the day of roughly another 80 calories). Then tonight after I sync'd again, instead of saying the 80ish calorie adjustment, it changed to like 580. Wonder if this is some change they made today? I just went back and changed my run to just be 1 calorie just for logging my run purposes and let the vivofit calories pull in since that's what I was doing anyway with 610+vivofit adj. Anyone else have this happen today?
