So the functionality exists for a user to specify custom categories. However, this will have to be adapted to the use-case you describe above. The 'Sports Categories' (activity types) being discussed in the top paragraph will have to be hard coded (and not user specified) so that the GUI can ask the user for sensible data for, say, Weight training and for sensible data when creating a new Cardio-Vascular activity record. I hope my explanation makes sense.
Please elaborate on the functionality you mention above. I do not ever use GPS, so I am not sure what you mean. regards, Werner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
