Lack of useability and reporting in Garmin Connect

Former Member over 5 years ago

Is there a different Garmin Connect Interface besides the one that shows almost nothing on the Activities page? The old interface showed something akin to an excel sheet with many lines of data all at once. The new one, at least on a Mac, shows 5 lines. It's all sexed up but not useful. Is there any way to view the old interface? Also, you used to be able to run a report where you chose the fields and the date range and it was awesome. The new report page is very restricted and does not deliver the detail data - just a graph. It's so frustrating.

When I download data to a csv file I get 21 lines - that's it.

I don't het it either. My activity view connect.garmin.com/.../activities is infinite, I can keep scrolling to get to 1.1.2019 and after I hit "Export to CSV" I have all information I need in a spreadsheet…

Thanks - I still want my old interface back. This is a MacBook Air I'm on and the font is not set to huge. The issue is that the GC interface wastes a tremendous amount of real estate that does nothing to make it a better product. Trust me when I tell you the data used to fill the whole screen and there was 1 line per activity and it was bliss. I have always disliked this new interface - it adds nothing to my experience and takes away plenty. There used to be a way to use the old interface but they seem to have retired it.

Thanks for looking at it. I thought maybe I was just missing something. I would like to know how to download many years worth of data at once because I do what I want to do in excel if that were the case. If you have any tips, please let me know.

I figured it out - I have to scroll down to see more stuff in excel.

How did you get that shot? Did you use Snaggit or something like that? Are you saying you see that much stuff on your screen at the same time?

Depends what exactly you want to download, but as randybb already wrote previously, you can export the list of all your activities in a CSV file, that you can then view in Excel too.
