My question was about "hard-coded sports categories". I began with "I'm not sure" because I used an old version with modified "gpx file import" (myself : you can see old thread about nokia import). Now, I downloaded the oldest svn version (#816).The "garmin gpx file import" doesn't use the name of the sport in the gpx file (according with "Sports Categories"). So, hard-coded "sports categories" will have no impact with it. This seems to be a functionnality I added last year in my own version (to obtain directly the total by sport : "Running", "Cycling" or "Walking"). So, excuse me for the noise.
