Useful when you're working to get badges for challenges.
Supported goal measures: activity time, activity distance, activity ascent, activity calories, daily active minutes, daily distance, daily ascent (elevation gain), daily calories, daily steps, daily floors climbed, daily pushes, daily push distance, weekly active minutes.
Supported units: default (system settings), metric, statute / imperial.

- ascent, descent: meters (m) | feet (ft)
- calories: kilo calories (kCal)
- time: minutes

Note: daily and weekly active minutes uses the current activity time to estimate the progress, but when the activity ends Garmin can give you more minutes, as the vigorous minutes count twice.
