Garmin Explore™ - Latest Quality Issues

Functions were cut
Hello, developers. Please tell me why the topographic layer disappeared (or was specially removed) on the map of Russia, but it is there on other countries? Tell me when the function will be restored? Is this how you can treat your customers?

Useless, confusing interface and no clear/useful functions.

Horrible recently. Life threatening
Don't rely on Garmin anymore with “your life”. This app is horrible. While out on Nunavut the app will randomly crash and then leaving all maps not available. Like the app doesn't recognize them. Leaving you with a base map that has near zero information. Reverting back to older model gps and not relying on this.

To be improved
Hello, to create a trace, it works well, but you should do like Strava. Each time a person passes on the path we see a thin colored line. This means that the path still exists and if there is no line the path may no longer exist. Over the years someone will take it and create a line and we will know if we can still use it. The more people pass by, the more we will see the line. Of course, put a symbol on the side to activate or deactivate the thin line of passage to clearly see the path on the map. Many paths have disappeared with Covid and new ones have been made. This is the case in my region. This would avoid turning around and ruining an outing. We can even change the colored line every 3 years, for example, and keep the old one at the beginning, which disappears after several passes on the old line. If you do this, no one will take a path that no longer exists or will be able to take another path that does not exist on the map. I have another idea to improve, but too long to explain. Surely it will never be done or even that you will never read my comment. For that I put 3 stars

Compatible with few devices. It doesn't work with any of the ones I have. Therefore it's useless

until early January 2025 the app worked great with all the Garmin devices in my possession. then the update. and the problems.... graphically impeccable but useless map (compared to the old Osm) no names of the mountain peaks, no possibility of seeing previously recorded tracks on maps. for goodness sake so many more functions, graphically satisfying, but SO MANY BUGS on android (samsung S23) operating system that crashes continuously.. I'm bitter

For example, you can download detailed topographic maps, color aerial imagery and other navigation aids directly to your mobile device. The maps and navigation data loaded onto your device can be used anywhere, anytime — even when you’re out beyond the reach of cellphone towers or internet connections. Manage Your Collections, Tracks and Routes Review and edit your waypoints, tracks, routes and activities in your library. Add them to a collection to keep all the recorded data from a certain trip together in one place. For example, if you’re taking a long trip, you can plan different waypoints, tracks and routes for each day of the trip and combine them into one collection. Your Mobile Cloud Connection The Garmin Explore app will send and store the waypoints, planned routes, GPS tracks and Garmin activities you've recorded in the cloud, allowing you to access and use that data on the Garmin Explore web site to plan or review your adventures.

Your activities (e.g., runs, walks, hikes, etc.) include data such as distance, pace, activity time, location, etc. that were recorded by your device. More Off-grid Capability with inReach® Technology Use Garmin Explore with your inReach enabled devices, such as the GPSMAP® 66i navigator and satellite communicator, to turn your mobile device into a true off-the-grid satellite companion.
