This seems a very old topic (seen many message about it) and still nothing done as of 06/03/2022?
This is a no brainer : when doing a cross country skiing workout we should have the distance!
Is anyone in California know anything about cross country skiing? You do actually cover a distance ;-)
Apple Watch Series 6
Thx
Feedback done but I can backtrack already several messages in this forum on the same topic. How can you seriously make a cross country skiing workout activity without reporting the distance .... all my friends have now a good laugh on apple watch ;-)

Actually it seems there is no gps tracking at all when cross country skiing is selected .... map does not show any data.
"...I meant "you" as general term ... we are in a apple forum/hosted by apple so I hope they to do read and listen to their customers ;-)..,"
They don't, I can assure you.
They just pay the rent and remove naughty posts.
Discuss multiple time ... and the typical "denial" answer: it is designed like that/according to the spec :-D

Yes that is why I suggested the nearest gps based workout like outdoor walk.
Please stop saying "you" when you mean Apple. We are not Apple.

sure can do that (I am using suunto and Sportracker if I want something more detailed) but distance seems so much a basic for cross country skiing that I do not see the reason you would not report it.
Sport tracker/Suunto has a annoying limitation that the "move" does not get reported in fitness... only activity. No matter what authorization I set.
Yes, you said.
We forum members can only state the policy, we have no influence over it.
Fieryjack, our long time expert said like I did...
"Cross country skiing only measures time and calories burnt, that's the way it was designed, you could always use another workout type that does measure distance."
If I were you I would use Outdoor Walk to get the distance and map. If you also use an app like Strava you can always rename it.
We are users like you, we don't make anything.
It does seem strange though.
I didn't see the deleted post, it was moderated quickly, so cannot comment on that.
