Map selection

TattooYagi — Sun, 17 May 2026 04:54:29 GMT

On my Garmin Connect web account, maps show as Google Maps. On my Garmin Connect Android app, maps show as Mapbox. How can I change which map source to be used? I want to change to Google Maps on the Android Connect version. Google Maps shows more details than Mapbox in Japan.

Garmin Connect+ Nutrition Not Working - My Meals have DISSAPPEARED

HuckAleroo — Fri, 15 May 2026 15:45:52 GMT

As the title says, all of my custom meals in the My Meals tab have disappeared and I cannot save new ones. The All tab is not working either. No recently eaten food pops up or anything for that matter. Appears to be a server issue as it persists on the web and in the app.

Garmin Connect shows every swimming length as "Mixed"

3199500 — Fri, 15 May 2026 12:33:15 GMT

Since a few weeks I started noticing a weird pattern - every single swimming length in my pool swimming activities is labeled as "Mixed" stroke. I assumed this might be due to the stroke detection not correctly identifying what I do in the water, but when I opened the same activity directly on the watch and checked the detected stroke there it was all 100% correct - breastroke and freestyle.

This affects only recent activities, older ones are displayed correctly both on watch and in the app.

Garmin connect route planner

5514084 — Thu, 14 May 2026 22:40:15 GMT

When using garmin connect app on my Samsung a9 tablet to modify a route there is no "edit" button anymore. If i create a new route there is no "save" button and if i press the "i" button the buttons to plot the route disappear at the bottom of the page unable to be seen!

Plotting on the pc is better but not always possible and please garmin, reinstate the navigate by roads selection! Popular routes doesn't always cut it.

Thank you

Cadence and stride charts are wrong

Iulian M — Thu, 14 May 2026 18:53:15 GMT

Howdy folks,

I got myself a Forerunner 255 recently and I was a bit confused at the way it reports cadence and stride length. I thought it was something to do with a recent firmware update, people say they've had the same issue, so I tried a downgrade and I go the same results. Namely, SPM would sometimes drop to, like, half of what it supposed to be, and stride length would basically double. And it keeps doing that. Anyway, Firmware downgrade didn't do a thing and I got to thinking, is it really the watch doing this? The pace it indicates is correct, which means that the measurements its making are correct. So, maybe, it's Connect getting things wrong? (I put screenshots from the web version because I'm writing this on a PC and it's just easier that way, but it looks the same on Android).

I'd appreciate any feedback on this, I really like the watch, but it'd be really nice if I could trust the data I'm getting from it.

V02 glances do not reflect true values

master.geo.san — Thu, 14 May 2026 18:35:33 GMT

The v02 glances are not reflecting true values.

Seems the glances are "caching" old values.

In the screen shots the glances both show 40 but the individual ones show 40 and 38.

This has been happening for a several months

Gear Maintenance Tracking

tr3climber — Thu, 14 May 2026 14:07:24 GMT

I LOVE the recent changes that have been made to gear tracking. Having gotten Rally pedals this winter, I was adding up the time that the pedals were in use by manually adding the time in the activities. The time tracking is great. BUT, it could be made a little better. I'm not going to "retire" the pedals after 100 hrs, I'm going to maintain them (grease them), and then continue to use them. So, the ability to trigger an alert/notification when a piece of gear reaches its maintenance trigger, time, distance, date, and then hit a button to indicate maintenance has occurred and restart the countdown would be great. I can make it work with what you gave us by extending the "retire" trigger when I do the maintenance, but that is like using a hammer on a screw. :-)

It's obvious you are listening to your users and that is greatly appreciated by us.

UI bug for pregnancy

1665413 — Thu, 14 May 2026 11:41:09 GMT

The pregnancy tracker on Android mobile Garmin connect app reads as X weeks and 7 days, where it should be X+1 weeks. This drives me nuts every week. The text size also seems too large on the pregnancy overview page.

Blood pressure chart question

SylvainGa — Thu, 14 May 2026 03:06:19 GMT

If low blood pressure is 90/60, shouldn't the chart show the area below it a different color than the good green?

Is it possibile to manually change the anaerobic threshold?

Danistella — Wed, 13 May 2026 16:25:34 GMT

The anaerobic threshold detect by Garmin doesn’t correspond to the test i did

Missing Data on Sleep Score Page

2596288 — Tue, 12 May 2026 20:30:19 GMT

Hi,
for a few days now, all the interesting sleep data in the Connect app went missing. I have a Venu 3S, and it usually tracks heart rate, skin temperature and much more during sleep. Now, I only get time slept and waking phases. No other data at all. The other data points are also completely erased from the app. They aren't in the sleep score page where they used to be, and I can't find them anywhere. Even if the watch stopped recording them for any reason, I should at least have a history of those values Especially since I'm using the temperature data for cycle tracking.
Does anyone have the same issue or maybe even a fix? I've also contacted the support, with no answer yet.
Thank you!

google maps - black roads only

9000754 — Sun, 10 May 2026 16:27:02 GMT

Good evening,

In activity detail, google maps don't screen any map ( grey screen with a grid ).

When I open the map, it appear, correctly focused, but only using black lines. Maps parameters used to screen colors according Frequency, run/walk, speed or other don't work. The road is staying fully black.

Standard Maps parameters ( plan / satellite / ground ) works.

Application revision : 5.24.1

Build Number : not screened

Android revision : 16 ( 2026-04-01 )

Thanks in advance for you help,

Kind Regards,

Problem!. I have to log in every time. And it requires an internet connection!!

fakeidtty — Sun, 10 May 2026 16:17:31 GMT

I have a huawei p40 pro plus with harmonyos4.2; Until about a year ago there was no problem; Now it randomly loses the account and I have to log in again, forcing me to authenticate by email, and it requires an internet connection. In a week I'm going to Africa, without an internet connection, so I won't be able to access my GPS data, or use explore on Android because it will ask me to log in and I won't be able to receive the damn email. It doesn't seem normal to me, nor that the account is lost, nor such an absolute need for an internet connection on devices that are supposed to be for non-urban experiences... Solution?? avoid mandatory authentication??

Nutrition no longer showing "ALL" foods recently logged.

Antforce — Fri, 08 May 2026 20:24:48 GMT

In the last week, the Nutrition section of the Garmin Connect app for Android has stopped showing "All" foods. The other tabs - Favorites/My Foods/My Meals" work and show previously logged and saved meals. I think though this is a server side issue as when I log into Garmin Connect for web - the "All" foods section also does not show previously logged food items. Anyone else seeing this?

New account on GARMIN App - doesn't work

I would like to create an account on the Garmin Connect app. I agree to the terms and proceed with the account setup. I then enter the date: May 8, 2026. However, I receive the message "Invalid Date." There appears to be an error here; does anyone know how to fix it?

Hrm pro plus data not transferred to garmin Connect anymore

Yerk — Fri, 08 May 2026 07:57:44 GMT

I occasionally do sports where I leave my watch off and only wear my HRM Pro Plus. For the past few weeks, the data stored on the HRM Pro Plus has been reliably transferred to my watch when I finish the activity, but when I sync the HRM with Garmin Connect, nothing (neither steps nor heart rate) appears on the watch.

This used to work reliably.

GC won't display data in OnePlus Nord

EvanKain — Wed, 06 May 2026 18:32:07 GMT

A few days ago, I changed to a new Android phone (actually, my son's old OnePlus Nord) and I have a strange behavior from the Garmin Connect app.

In particular, when I sync my FR955, GC won't display any data (new and old, News Feed etc.). What I have found is that, if I uninstall and reinstall GC, all data is back there.

But, unfortunately, the next day, the same problem comes back again, so I have to go in the same process once more: uninstall and reinstall the app.

Since this cannot go on forever, does anyone have a clue on what is going on and what can be done to to fix this?

Thank you!

Rotating the screen makes MUCH this worse

macdonrb — Tue, 05 May 2026 23:05:24 GMT

Despite the major "Winter 2026" software updates that added gear tracking and better course planning, Garmin still hasn't updated the core graphing engine for activity heart rate.

The Problem: The app uses a fixed-buffer algorithm. For an athlete like me with your "outlier" range (48 RHR to 190 Max), the app chooses a massive 70–220 bpm window.
The "Squash": Because I spend most of your ride in the 140–160 range, I'm only utilizing about 20% of the available vertical pixels. Rotating the screen makes MUCH this worse because you lose vertical height to gain horizontal width, flattening the peaks even more.

Is Garmin ever going to fix this problem? I believe this rotated screen was much better previously?

Insights displays the same word "distance" for each insighta graphs

4011865 — Tue, 05 May 2026 17:36:32 GMT

For each graphs in the insights section, we see the same word. This time it is showing the word "distance", but 5 minutes ago it was all the word "steps".
