Great thoughts.
1. Thankyou.
2. Adding optional data smoothing for the graph data is something I'd like to do soon.
3. The y-axis scales for power, speed and HR are independent, so it should work fine when there's no power data. Does it not work as well as I thought?
4. Unfortunately I'm not about to support other activities because I know very little about them, and at least while this is a one-man project, it pays to stay focussed. Hopefully someday...

#4 - have you looked at http://www.finisinc.com/swimsense/ (for swimming)? I chatted with them when I was involved in a swimming analytics startup and they are top notch!

"I will throw money at you"
Make something people want... and they will throw money at you.
1. Great UI. The Garmin Connect team should take note.
2. Consider generating best fit curves for the graph data, it's hard to get an idea of how fast you're going over time, especially when you ride in the city and traffic and stop lights cause much of the spikey data.
3. I know the focus is power here, but it would be nice to get the Y-axis units to change when all that is displays is HR or Speed.
4. If you work in running and swimming I will throw money at you.
