Create Segments issues

I'm trying to create a segment using Garmin Connect
I go to Activities, according the instruction from Garmin, I must select Create Segment under the segment tab at the very bottom of the screen, Unfortunately I cannot find create segment tab.

Removing Strava connection from Garmin finally solved the issue. Now as Strava segments are paid service and we have same feature in Garmin, it makes no sense to be connected to Strava and send them my results. I could solve that before, now when I left, it is solved. Thanks for the tip.
