I just noticed that today too - I don’t think it’s the iOS 13 update doing it because it was fine after that. It looks to me that the maps have been switched to Apple maps instead of Google - if anyone…

Well look at that... I just got an app update for Garmin Connect and the maps are now showing up light once again! They are still using Apple maps, but I never had a complaint about that. Yay for lighter…

It is more complicated than you described it.

Agree the black maps are awful. No way to switch with light or dark settings mode on iPhone. Help. Light maps still exist on Garmin connect website profile. Why not on app?

I noticed something interesting regarding the maps. Go to one of your activities that shows a map within the Garmin Connect iOS app. I went to a running activity. On the summary page, it shows orange circles to the right of the pace and elevation gain numbers. If you tap on one of those orange circles, it takes you to a detailed graph view of the metric. Try that... tap to view the details.

Still with me? If so, then click the CLOSE button at the top of the screen. As the graph goes away and shows the previous screen, quickly look at the map, it shows up LIGHTLY and then quickly fades back to the dark version.

It seems to me that Garmin's app developers should be able to make a change that will use the light version INSTEAD of the dark version for maps. I hope they will do this.

I also agree that now my maps have changed to the light mode.
