Sharing a map with data instead of a photo?

Is there a way to share a map of activity with (preferably selected) data into social media instead of using photo? Good Ol' Sports Tracker let me save a map with data as a photo but Garmin Connect seems to allow using only self taken photo and not even share/save that to Photos but in to Files instead. Also Garmin Connect doesn't let you choose any data but uses always distance, time and calories with a different layout only. Or even let you leave some of those out.

I don't want to share a link to activity with all possible info. Just a map with some data on that as a picture.

Am I doing something wrong or are these just "features"?

You can make a screenshot of the map, and then share the screenshot - it will be at the top of the library of photos for sharing, so it is a rather quick and easy workaround.

Yup, that's a no-brainer workaround but still lacking even those pre defined data fields. I would be happy enough if I could save / share a map with a route and at least those pre defined three data fields. Even better if I could select which three data fields would be put over map.

NINJA EDIT: Or did you suggest that I would take a screenshot of a map with a route, save it and then select that as a "photo" to use... That would work, yes. Few extra steps but definitely doable.

They are there. Open you activity, make a screenshot, tap the share button, select the first photo on the list (the screenshot), select the layout with the data you want, and all is there.

Thanx. My brains were little laggish but I eventually managed to figure this out from your first post .
