Garmin Connect App VS Web and more

Giovo 1 day ago

The web version of Garmin Connect also has a lot more features than the smartphone app, I think the app should have the same!

I especially miss the download of the gpx file from the Connect app on my smartphone (while I can do that on Garmin Connect web), reports, activities list with comparison

Also:

- when I open the app in the morning, and I haven't sync my watch yet, the app should show the last data instead of "no data"

- all the "golf" functions should be deactivable from the settings (I don't play golf, I don't need that 2 menu voices)

- the personal records are only focused on cycling and running, I think every sport should have different ones (for example: swimming, hiking, skitouring, mountaneering), based on the activities done

- there should be a general setting for always applying the DEM calculation of elevation gain instead of the barometric one

thanks

You can import GPX files with the app - simply associate the GPX file type with Connect, and if you open the file with, you get the import dialogue.

No, I wanted to do the opposite: download the gpx file from the Connect app to my smartphone

OK, I see. I am afraid it is unlikely that the phone app would have all the functionality of the web interface any time soon, because it would grow even bigger and more power hungry than it already is (which is a subject of frequent complaints), but you can always try suggesting improvements to Garmin at Share Ideas | Garmin
