Hi,

I just tested the HeiaHeia upload with eCoach and it's great feature! However the limitation for naming the activities isn't so great. There should be some more choices or at least the Notes field, if it is possible to submit also that field to HeiaHeia.

I can of course add more sport types to the list... HeiaHeia has aroud 130 different sports supported so i guess there is something for everyone
Many of the sports in HeiaHeia don't have any use for GPS. I made quick calculation of sound activities for eCoach and got just 24 of those.
(running, jogging, roller skiing, duathlon, rowing, kayaking, open canoeing, riding, agility, walking the dog, nordic walking, walking, orienteering, hiking, golf, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoe walking, tour skating, cycling, mountain biking, road cycling, roller skating)


Maybe another 25 more could be possible, but the are either exotic, redundant or have high risk of exposing the phone to water

The bottom line is that I don't believe all sports and "sports" in HeiaHeia are needed to be in eCoach. Also, just four sports is not enough.
