See no advantages to the new format. Liked the old format so much better. Can we go back?
I agree completely, and have been trying to figure out how to express dissatisfaction beyond these forums. In a "Chat" discussion, the overworked Garmin rep shared another forum to express opinions: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/
Hopefully with persistent negative feedback across multiple forums, Garmin decision-makers will listen and restore the previous format (or at least its key functionalities).
