Custom exercise name and GPS data

[fgomiero]

Hi all,

Are there any news about custom exercise name and gps data?

I tried Skateboard and in the synchronized activity in mobile app there is the correct name and map is shown, but in the app that I'm developing the new exercise type is saved as "Aerobic" and no map is shown.

Sorry, there's no update on this. Unfortunately, you'd need to use one of the existing types which does support a map.

Thanks @JonFitbit. The solution is in plan? I believe that is a big improvement for everyone that need a custom app.

so how come skateboard is working when that is not one of the existing activity types mentioned here (https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/device-api/exercise/)?
