  • APP NOPE, SUBSCRIPTION NOPE

    WELL FIRST OFF I TRIED THE APP FIRST ON THE NEWEST IPHONE THANKFULLY FIRST. WHY WOULD YOU STICK A REPOSITION OF CURRENT LOCATION ICON DIRECTLY WHERE YOUR RIGHT THUMB HOVERS AND MOVES. CHECKING OUT N.Y. GAMELANDS AND BECAUSE OF THAT ICON IT SENT ME BACK TO CURRENT LOCATION 10 TIMES IN 20 MINS LOOKING AT TRAILS, I WILL NOT BE USING IT. I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT NONSENSE. PAPER IT IS.
  • Unreliable and requires a paid subscription

    This app is absolutely horrible. I've wasted way too much time trying to figure out how to do things like hide old tracks, figure out where in the app my most current tracks are saved, etc. Just plug the Garmin into your computer and dig through the SD card chronologically because otherwise you'll end up wasting hours of your time trying to figure the interface out. This company has gone waaaay downhill over the last several years. Garmin has a monopoly and they care more about their smart watches and fitness trackers than they care about doing a solid job with GPS units.

    I love this app. Great for planning runs/hikes and navigating during long adventures. Sometimes there is a glitch where it won't let you connect 2 points on a trail if it crosses a national forest/wilderness boundary.

    Difficult to figure out on different platforms. Ie. iPhone, iPad and Garmin GPS
  • New and Inferior with Broken Features and Buggy Performance

    Every since Garmin deployed the new app it has gotten worse with every new feature. Bugs with routes not loading correctly. Trails and topos not showing up, and most recently their “smart” routing feature that tries to force certain trails in certain directions regardless of where you actually intend to go. Please stop rolling out bug “features” and revisit your core values. Direct routing. Fast loading. Offline usage. Minimal storage space. You can do this. You did in the past. Leave the features for Connect.

    Love being able to communicate our adventures with this device. Plus the peace of mind that we can access emergency assistance if ever needed.
