    You need to turn on location settings in your browser settings for Garmin Connect

    Yes, they changed it lately.

    Earlier it moved to Kansas when you didn't have any courses saved. When you had some courses, then it moved to area with those courses.

    Currently it moves to Kansas when web-browser's location sharing is disabled. When location sharing is enabled - then it moves to area based on your IP.

    It may seem a better option, but it's not, it depends how good your IP is matched. Most likely you'll get a region closer then Kansas, but it may still be a far away city, so you may still need to use search. When you have a dynamic IP, then sometimes it guess correct region, and sometimes a wrong one.

    It would be for the best if they would just do what other websites - just remember last viewed location.

    "Earlier it moved to Kansas when you didn't have any courses saved. When you had some courses, then it moved to area with those courses."  NOPE: it still defaults to Olathe, and I've got loads of courses saved in and around my hometown of Baltimore.

    "Currently it moves to Kansas when web-browser's location sharing is disabled. When location sharing is enabled - then it moves to area based on your IP."  NOPE: I've enable location services in Safari and Firefox (both running Mac OS X 13.1

    I appreciate your efforts to provide an explanation for this glitch, but none have worked for me.  Any other thoughts? Thanks for any additional advice you might provide

    The first line is about previous state, it used to be like that earlier. Saved courses won't do it now.

    Currently the only option is to enable location sharing in web-browser's settings and also you need to add the website on the list of permitted websites.

    But this depends on your IP. For me it now shows some location 170 KM away, so even when it works it may be good for nothing. Also even when it guess a correct location, it won't be good for planning courses in another place where you plan to travel yet. So basically it's a broken feature, try more with browser's settings, but you don't lose much without it.
