Where is the preview map when sharing to facebook?

Former Member over 8 years ago

When i complete a run i share it to my facebook profile using the Garmin connect Share button on the upper right corner of the page. For the last year the Share dialog pops up and shows me a preview map of my run, which also appears on my timeline on my facebook. The Run i did yesterday does not show a preview map, it only shows a Default Garmin connect Image on my post.

I would like to get the preview map to appear, How do i do this. is something broken on the Garmin Connect site, like the share button internal coding? If you scroll down on my facebook profile my other Runs show a preview map.

The run i did yesterday shows a "add this sharing" link which i think something changed on the Garmin connect webstie, share button coding..

I wanted to get the preview map to appear on my facebook profile when i share a Run, can anybody help me? :confused:

No Preview Map

Same problen for me, does anyone out there know why? It's very annoying.

Same is happening to me, no map and simple click to a share to Facebook from Firefox does not work anymore, it has new icons in he share dropdown. Only in MS Edge, then I can copy generated link in Edge and post it from Firefox. Very annoying...

I have the same problem. I've written to Garmin customer support about it and will post here if/when they respond

Great, i hope they respond with a solution, fingers crossed. I hope they get rid of addthis sharing. Which is a middleman app..

I called Garmin on this and they reproduced it and are aware of it. Last time it worked for me was on July 10. He said they did do a update a few days after that. Think they broke it again :(

Same here. Hopefully they fix this soon!

Try updates & downloads GPSMAP 60CSx software to version 4.00

I heard from Garmin customer service about this. They said: "The issue you are referring to is something that we are aware of and are working hard towards a resolution, however, we do not have a timeframe for this to be completed as yet."
