    What on God’s green earth did you guys do with this update? No more TopoActive, aspect ratios all F’d up, quad sheets gone, crappy maps? Quit trying to fix things that aren’t broke. And no, I wont give you more money.

    Please specify field types in-app so password managers know to auto fill. Same goes for credit card info on the maps+ checkout.
  • An improvement with a few glitches

    Garmin is rapidly updating explore 4.0.x with improvements and adding a wider variety of map layers for download. I have noticed a glitch both downloading and streaming a map across a state line (Carlsbad Caverns to Guadalupe Mountains) where the Topo layer for NM is visible but is totally blank for TX. Oddly the USGS layer works fine.

    Currently traveling overseas and planned on using Garmin for offline maps. It just straight up doesn’t work at all. If you can’t rely on the app that’s purpose is to help you in those situations what is the point of the product at all?
  • Better update

    Thank you for finally including satellite imagery as an overlay! This is now my go-to planning app for my outdoor adventures.
  • A once great app, now lame at best.

    Let’s start with the 50$ map subscription to get the same service as I had before. So I just cancelled my inreach subscription, paid 11$ month for that and picked up the map subscription. So in reality Garmin lost 50$+ better start rubbing those hands again and figure out another way to extract wealth for doing nothing. Before the satellite maps stayed loaded on your phone, now if you don’t have service they disappear and you have a green screen with some lines. Now I’m asking myself “why did you pay for the map?” So needless to say, I won’t be paying for maps next year either. And now I have to go in and delete each dog after the hunt, when before I could select and delete them all at once. The app is a mess, but developers gotta develop right? Make things “better” -sarcasm
  • Love it

    I’ve been using both Garmin Connect and Garmin Explore for a long time. Since acquiring Delorme Inreach and the overlap with Earthmate, it was starting to look like Explore was going to just die on the vine. However, with the latest update they finally brought the maps up to date with those available on their devices (I’ve used the Fenix series since first gen) and provides the extra map detail of the Outdoor Maps+. Love the maps and love the route planning experience.
