How do I track downhill skiing on Versa 4?

[surfer_rick]

Can I rename workout with a Versa 4 and I want to confirm GPS will apply in this mode so I can track downhill skiing.

Hi, @Overalt , you can rename “workout”.  However, the exercise shortcut “workout” does not launch GPS, unfortunately and there is no way of turning it on manually.  You would need to use “outdoor workout”, which does launch GPS, and which you can rename later.

Hi, @surfer_rick , for downhill skiing you would want to use “outdoor workout” which does launch GPS and which you then can rename.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for confirming GPS. I have not figured out how to rename to Downhill Ski. Is that in the App on my phone (I'm android) but I have not figured any way to edit it.

I found Aerobic Workout under auto recognized exercise but all I can change is the time.

Hi, @surfer_rick , auto recognised exercise is not what you want.  You need to track via “exercise shortcuts”.  Use “outdoor workout” as mentioned above, using GPS and then re categorize as skiing - ot other preferred activity.
