Garmin Connect Mobile always crashes on Map zoom on Samsung Galaxy s4

I have been using the Garmin Connect Android app since 31st December and have found a reoccurring problem with the zoom functionality of the map. If I zoom in/out on any Activity, I always get the "Unfortunately, Connect has stopped" crash popup. It is installed on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running Android 4.3. Is anybody else having similar trouble. As mentioned, this is happening for every Activity except for smaller track runs and seems to be when the app tries to redraw the track line on the map after zooming. It's not device related as the crash happens on Activities from a Forerunner 305 and 620.
  • same on my Nexux 4 . it crashes each time i zoom any map or scroll a map too fast.
    I sent feedback the first 3 or 4 times but don't anymore.

    Version 2.0 of the app (release date next week) will use Google's version 2 map API, which should rectify the zoom problem.

    That's great to hear. If BLE for the 620 is in that release also then that's a good result.

    Yes, 2.0 will support BLE for the 220 and 620. :o

    Tried that now -- never tried zooming in on the app... I usually look at them on the GC site on my tablet or notebook -- and it crashed. I have the same mode (S4 GT-i9505, official ROM from Samsung - Android 4.3).
  • Do you have a trusted source for the target date? It will indeed be great to be able to fully use the capabilities of the watch and see all the information on the phone itself...

    The new version of Garmin Connect for android is available. Fixes the Map zoom issue and connects with my 620. Good source DOUG996INKC :)

    Glad it's working! Now we just need to get that preview window to zoom in better on the map. Working on that next.
