I bought a new GARMIN 935 and I did hesitate for some time to do it. Especially when you look at the SUUNTO with their counterpart to Garmin connect, Moviestick.
It is easy to use, you can even create training plans and find other peoples track to follow.
I have now seen the issue with training plans being aired for years and no one seem to have a proper look at what you can do.
And no, I am not prepared to pay for neither Training Peaks or Strava to get the ability to plan simple exercises. If you as a company introduce the training plan concept, then follow it through in details or just skip it completely. Strava cannot handle swim and triathlons and various other sports. Training peaks is a mess and confusing and far too expensive. It is even more than what Microsoft office cost per month as a basic fee. Then you have to pay for a plan up to $100 or for some even more because someone took a free plan and typed it in. They do certainly not add very much to the training at all.
Take responsibility, develop the ability to create your own plans plans and make it possible to search on other peoples courses that you removed.
[EDIT]: I did by an accident learn that there are heat maps on the Garmin too, but I had to experiment my way to understand it. In the create course I find it. Why? Why can't I find that like in SUUNTO by clicking a menu and see where people run and cycle?
The Menus in Garmin connect is also very messy. It is as if you have thrown in new functions to the left and right. and it exceeds one screen so you have to scroll. That is a rule of thumb for menus, never exceed the screen, then create a structure so you can access all functions within the screen.
I guess someone with software architecture must take a proper grip of your Garmin connect as you seem to have functions people do not know of.
Help the sports people and enable your FANTASTIC gadgets(I love my new Garmin 935). The only way is to have functionalities at the portal and have a stable software version before you roll it out.
