It appears that there are 5 activities that one can chose from an already established list, and 2 additional ones that one can enter of your own choosing. I wanted to rename one of the existing activities such as hiking or golf (both use the GPS) to another type of activity (kayaking). I called tech support and was told that it is not possible to rename golf or hiking to something of my own choosing. So, in order to use an activity that does use the GPS, I have to call my workout in the kayak either golf or hiking. Seems a bit ridiculous. Maybe in one of your next upgrades you could include the capability of renaming an activity to one of one's choosing. Seems like a simple thing to do. Thanks

I've noticed you are new around @Csabal, so let me give you a warm welcome to our Community. Woman Happy

 

At this moment Surge has no option to track a GPS activity and rename it, sorry. Although, @WendyB's suggestion it's pretty good. I found a request similar to the one you're asking for called: Add canoeing/kayaking as an activity in the Surge in our Feature Suggestions board, where our developers can check what our Fitbitters need and take this in consideration for the next updates. Robot wink

 

The more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. Implementing enhancements to Fitbit trackers and services take time. I appreciate your patience and understanding about it!

 

Have a great day! Robot Happy
