Why does Garmin set the maximum level to be five?

Please extend the Badges beyond Level 5. It gives many Garmin fans incentive and a goal

I second this motion. With the addition of monthly badge challenges it creates more opportunity to level up over and over again, far beyond level 5. Every little bit of motivation helps. Please revise this portion for the Connect community, Garmin! Thanks!

Same here.  As a software developer, this shouldn't be hard

Thank you...I will write that on my board and use that as a means of motivation. One of my connections just hit over 4,000 points!  Garmin may have to make a starting point for levels 6 and above

Max Garmin Badge collection limited to 300 Points or Level 5

Using the formula they used for the first 5 level (they doubled the amount of points needed at each level) the levels would look like:

Level 6 - 620

Level 7 - 960

Level 8 - 2240

Level 9 - 4800

Level 10 - 9920

Continuing on it would take 10, 240 to reach Level 11.

It would be interesting to see what the average maximum points have been achieved.  I bet it would be a small percentage to ever reach Level 10 (or 10,000 points) and I would think that is as high as they need to go.   

If they wanted to go past maybe each level there after need only be every 10,000 points get you a new level, although I think leaving it at level 10 would be ideal because every runner wants to see a finish line eventually, or at least get to where they are going.  If left to go on forever or an unattainable amount, it might lose it's motivational value.  

Yes! Please add more!

Please add more, hate to lose the incentive.

I might as well throw the watch away if i dont get any motivation. Isnt it supposed to be like a long distance "games" forum for non professionals? So you do it all in 2 years and thats it? Thanks for nothing garmin! Back to sofa and chips
