Feature request. Share location from Google Maps to Garmin Connect.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to request a feature that would really improve the user experience with Garmin Connect.

Currently, it’s possible to share a location directly from Apple Maps to Garmin Connect, which immediately opens navigation on the watch – super convenient! However, the same functionality doesn’t seem to work with Google Maps. It would be great if Garmin Connect could support sharing locations directly from Google Maps as well.

This would be especially useful for users who prefer Google Maps for searching locations and planning routes.

Thanks for considering this!

    first time i tried to navigate with my garmin watch i was stunned that this wasn't a available feature. Needing special apps, multi-step conversion and upload processes, or to go to a location already in order to save it, is absurd. I want to navigate to a location and step 1 is go to the location??? Putting the cart before the horse much?

    The first time i tried to use my garmin watch to navigate i was stunned this wasn't possible. All the usual examples on how to navigate start with saving the location by going there! Talk about putting the cart before the horse! All alternative methods to upload them require other apps (potentially multiple ones), and/or multi-step processes. So absurdly clunky I'm practically never going to use it. D: Very disappointing.
