Route Names as Ride Names

Is there a way to have the Route Name as a default ride name instead of "Morning activity"?

I love that there is already something in the text field as a default - especially if I just go on a ride without a route. But most of my rides are planned and I have then difficulties to re-enter the exact route name to identify which rides are which routes.

Thanks in adcance

Frank

    Hey Frank,

    Thanks for posting :) 

    We do have a few other users who have requested improvements on the same lines. We have put it across to our team for their reference and based on the popularity and priority of the suggestion, it can possibly be pulled into the next UI/UX overhaul :)

    Hi,

    this is exactly, what I've wondered about today. I started a route and after it has been finished, the ride summary displays "Morning ride" instead of the finished route name...so yes, this would be a nice improvement 8-)

    Hi!

    I was told months ago, that it will come. So many updates and stilll not implemented this feature, which should be quite easy. Just copy paste the name of the planned route. It’s already on the device… it’s annoying, that I need to update the name of the ride every time on several platforms, after K2 uploaded them.

    Thanks
    Paul

    it would be wonderful if you can name rides like the route used or the workout.

    Exactly... I mean, all the data from Komoot, Strava, or wherever you have build your route is there. Even the name is already in the dashboard. So why wouldn't this just be copied and taken as suggestion for the ride, instead of morning ride or so.. 

    There could still be the option in the settings to choose if the route name is taken as ride name, or not.

    It would be configurable somehow with any predefined arguments... My idea for naming rides with routes will be a simple "YYYYMMDD_<route_name>". And also, when renaming manually, if it could be possible, able resync to accounts like strava, in order not to have to go to your external account and manually renaming it.

    Thanks, regards.

    Any update on this? I would also love to have the route name to be the ride name.

    I am also looking for this simple fix.  Please pick this low-lying fruit and put it in the basket for us. 

    How hard will it be to just copy the route name over to the ride description?  There would probably be less code to copy the route name as the ride description that having the currently useless ride names of "Morning Ride" or "Afternoon Ride."

    Plus one more vote for this upgrade.  Seems like the obvious choice to suggest the (just ridden) route name as the default for the ride name.

    I really was expecting that when riding a route, the ride name would save based on the route name automatically. Is this something that can be implemented ? It’s been 3 years and no update on this.

    Using the route name as the default ride name seems so easy.  Please consider this for the next release.

    Exactly! It’s very easy. In the settings there could an option for that. Every ride I need to edit the name on Strava.. sucks!

    Yeah. I just realized that the route name didn’t flow over to ride name. Frankly, after this was raised 3 years ago it’s just sad that this hasn’t been added yet. Shameful!

    Indeed. I don't like having all those afternoon ride and evening rides names....

    PLEASE change the names to the route name followed by the date,like:

    "ROUTE NAME, 25 AVG 2024"

    Please make it happen, simple config with a few parameters:
    Override ride name On/off
    And then an enumeration with some prefilled options:
    Route name
    Datetime
    Routename_datetime
    Datereime_routename

    The rest is up to us but prefilling would be a great QOL update!

    Jeroen, Totally agree with the need use the last route name as the ride name. 

    Since we already have the date/time in the summary date for the ride, and since date/time is already displayed on the summary screen, how would you feel, in the name of simplicity, if we just had the route name used as the default ride name?  That request would be simpler to implement since there would be no need to add a configuration screen.  It should just be a one-line change to the end-of-route logic.

    Hi David, 

    yes only a boolean "override ridename with route name" is the leanest solution. Fallback on the current default when no route selected. 

    The enum was just an example for how easy it could be. I read that some users like the combination of a date in the ridename (so not only in the details).
