In the past I have never tagged my races as ‘Races’ and, if I had, this tool is a great way to quickly find & compare them Comparing Workouts Here I chose 5km runs from this year between 19:00 & 20:00 (the end of this article has detailed instructions) On the ‘All Activities’ screen, you can easily select up to 4 workouts after narrowing down the list of those selected.

I remember seeing a few triathlon race results companies offer a similar feature a few years ago however those were always based on the average speed of you and your friends for each leg of a triathlon the Garmin DOT RACER feature is much more advanced and is also based on the correct time/GPS position. Then, when it comes to comparing them, you can compare lap details, summary details as well as a nifty ‘workout comparison player’ that lets you see how your position/DOT on the map compares to the DOT(s) representing the other workouts as they ‘race’ each other…hence the name of the feature: DOT RACER! I’ll show you the main elements of this feature in a moment, but to summarise there are two key areas 1) workout selection & 2) workout comparison.These are both ‘advanced’ features, for example, in the workout selection you can narrow down a potentially huge list of workouts to those that meet your preferred criteria such as sport type, distance range, time range and more besides. These can be your own completed workouts or those of other athletes who are in your connections. Finally, the new app has some social sharing features on board, allowing users to share achievements to their newsfeed, check out leader boards, and compete with other Garmin Connect users with challenges.Garmin DOT RACER is a comparison feature in Garmin Connect that lets you compare between 2 and 4 workouts. The app also includes Cortana and Live Tile support, enabling users to both ask Cortana for information on their activity that day and view bits of information like calories burned on the Start screen. At a glance, Garmin Connect Mobile users are able to track their progress and get valuable insight into their activities with metrics that matter."
Users can select their own snapshots (or dashboards) that allow them to focus on their goals and interests, ranging anywhere from increasing daily steps, getting a better night's sleep or training for an upcoming race. The interface can be tailored to the individual user for easy access to data that's most relevant to the user.
"Helping keep users on track with their health and wellness goals daily and over time, the app's easy-to-navigate look and feel includes daily snapshots, leaderboards and a newsfeed for optimum user experience and engagement.
