Hanneke May 2021 3:43pm, 11 May 2021 73,405 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke I have an 800 for cycling, it does proper maps... Bought it years ago but is still up to date. Thing is, it has a touch screen, so I can't just pop it in a pocket and run... I have yet to try to upload it to Fetch though, so that may not work anyway.

Steve NordRunner May 2021 10:05am, 12 May 2021 657 posts	Quote Pin Steve NordRunner That raises the next question: if you use a device that records the wrong activity-type for what you are doing, then you manually edit and correct on Fetch, will WSW reflect what you want? I've been thinking of using an old Forerunner 220 to log bike miles for WSW, but it only logs running. I could edit the activity-type on Fetch but I'm not sure what WSW would think and I don't want to look like I'm attempting a deception.

Hanneke May 2021 1:40pm, 12 May 2021 73,513 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke Ah, I hadn't thought about that! My 301 does both cycling and running, but doesn't talk to 't internet. My 800 only does cycling...
