When will you finally understand?!
It is difficult to understand you, because you asked a clear question "Is there a way to view the maps of my activities with OpenStreetMap?", and I answered…
Anyway NOTHING about web application in a forum for Android apps.
I am sorry, but I will always continue offering alterntive solutions to anyone seeking help. Most people are not aware of the…
Hi. I would like to ask, when would be such a possibility to use other maps than google to plan a routera on GCM ?
GM is really difficult to use for planning tourist routes.
Only Garmin can answer that question. Ask Garmin Support and you should also send it to Garmin as a suggestion: https://www.garmin.com/forms/ideas/
Garmin Connect Web works in a web browser on the phone or tablet.
I usually plan my routes in Strava. It will then sync my routes to Garmin Connect and my devices. There are other services that do the same like Komoot.
I am using a de-googled phone as well, and I post here my disappointment about garmin connect android app not being able to render activities maps. I know it can be accessed in GCW, but i find it very odd that a company which one of the main activities is cartography devices which already support the open street map project on its website, does not allow their users use osm on their favorite device.
It is probably easier for them to support and manage a primary map service and to use one that people are the most familiar with.
However, I think it would be nice to be able to easily toggle or have a default map type. OSM is updated better and has much more detailed trail systems! Recommend following the 'ideas' request that Andy posted.
OSM is updated better
Osm in itself is constantly updated, yes. But for GC / Explore, Garmin is not using data from osm directly. They created their own copy which they almost never update. Last update (at least in in my area) was somewhere in 2019 or earlier. Giant waste of potential, as the updated data is available for free, Garmin just decided not to use it :(.
Will we be able to use openstreetmap on GC mobile ever? it's so silly from garmin to use google maps with gc mobile and openstreetmap with gc website, what the ***? you can't create a trail running route manually with gc mobile, as there are no routes - you have to rely on 3rd party apps, yet coros can do this with their own app.
