I also am having problems with my Garmin Forerunner 15. Instead of the usual map tracking my route in Ottawa today I get a map of Olathe Kansas - which happens to be Garmin's corporate headquarters by the way. Please fix this!
Why all the hate for Olathe, Kansas? It seems like a nice place. Why don't people want to run or bike there?
Seriously though, same problem here. All maps show Olathe or they don't show at all. All other Garmin Connect functions are sporadic and buggy.
I understand systems go down, but why have a dedicated Status website that incorrectly says all systems are go? Better not to have a status website at all than one that suggests the problem is at the user end (likely causing people to reinstall software, etc.).
Here's an idea: A Garmin Connect Status Status website. It would show the current status of the Garmin Connect Status website. Right now it would say that the Status website is incorrectly showing all green. Probably need a failsafe too - the Garmin Connect Status Status Status website. Wait, one more idea ...
There is an 'enable scrolling' button on the map (still of Olathe) which I do not remember having seen before. Was it already there or is this a sign that they are improving the map for use on touch screen devices?
Yes, it's really annoying and tiring to always look for your location by hand.
Here I made FAQ about Segment & HeatMap.
There is also information what you can do about default location. For Courses / Heat Map - it's easy, create some course in your location and then use CoursesMap with Heat turned on. For Segments Map - you need javascript bookmark.
