Garmin Explore™ - Latest Quality Issues
Android

After the latest update, the app has gotten worse. These are not maps of the area. Pictures.

Huh?
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.

Missing important features
I have a GPSMAP 67 with Topo Pro maps; however, the Explore app doesn't currently (version 4.0.4) display the Topo Pro maps, even when paired. In comparison to the Topo Pro maps, the default maps provided with Explore are poor and are insufficient for course planning. The other big gap is that the Explore app doesn't currently allow waypoints to be entered using BNG coordinates; lat/long is not convenient in the UK. Basecamp might be better, but it is not supported on iPad/iPhone. How many people take a laptop on outdoor trips?

Updates have worsened an already uncertain app
With the latest updates it has become impossible to create even simple routes, it no longer calculates the connections between one point and another and it is impossible to change the calculated route. Latest disastrous updates, before these not too intuitive but at least it could be completed without problems.

iOS malfunction
With iOS it works quite poorly. The vicissitudes of dogs remain static. Only the track line moves, which is super wide

Since the new update, the quality of the maps has decreased, you now have to pay to have a better resolution. The only positive point is the addition of satellite views. The old version was more appropriate as a tool for planning and managing routes.
Garmin Explore™ - Product Description
Map, Track, Sync and Share Your Trek From Anywhere For adventure seekers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin Explore ecosystem offers a complete mobile navigation solution that — when paired with a compatible Garmin device¹ — lets you map, track and navigate your trek from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage. Garmin Explore provides basic trip planning or viewing of maps you’ve preloaded on your device. Or you can use the mobile app to pair your smart device via BLUETOOTH®² technology with a compatible Garmin GPS device, so you can do and see even more. Access Online Connectivity Garmin Explore provides free online access to a wide range of additional capabilities. 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. You can also sync your cloud-stored data with a compatible Garmin device. A Garmin account is needed to store your data in the cloud. 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. In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team. Two-way messaging and LiveTrack location tracking via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network let you stay in contact globally. The Garmin Explore app allows you to access your phone’s contact list for easier messaging and sharing when connected.
