Suggested Feature Garmin Connect Web

Posting a few features that would be very appreciated on the GC web interface.

-when creating a course, popularity heatmap needs to be visible with higher granularity, without zooming in  completely. Why? When creating a longer course, it’s difficult to find best path without almost full zoom, so you end up only seeing roads, instead of the smaller trails that you are often after. But if you zoom in, you don’t see where you are heading, and if the smaller trails will eventually lead you in the right direction.

-Bulk-download all historic activity data in one go. Currently downloading all historic data is very tedious as you have to extend the list of activities manually until all can be selected. Why? allow users to work with own visualization and analysis of their activity data, outside Garmin interfaces.

-Better analysis tools on the Webb for your activities. Filter and pivot activities dynamically. E.g. show all runs above 20k and show key data such as average pace, elevation, distance and HR, per month for the past three years. Why? To allow more dynamic analysis of how your performance is developing, for e.g. long runs, marathons, intervals etc etc.

  • -Bulk-download all historic activity data in one go

    This is possible now. You can request your data from Garmin - Garmin Connect Full Data ExportI did this for my account which contains thousands of activities dating back to 2004. You'll eventually receive an email from Garmin with a link to download your entire Garmin profile which will include everything. All your activities exactly in the type they were uploaded (FIT, GPX, or TCX). 

  • -when creating a course, popularity heatmap needs to be visible with higher granularity,

    I do not think it is possible. The screen resolution is finite, so you can only display as many details as the screen resolution allows. Besides that, the map resolution is given by the map provider - Google Maps, HERE, or OpenStreetMap, and then by the selected map type (Map / Terrain / Satellite), so higher map resolution without zooming may be completely out of the control of Garmin. I suggest rather trying the Satellite map type option, where you can see paths easier even at low zoom.

    -Better analysis tools on the Webb for your activities. Filter and pivot activities dynamically. E.g. show all runs above 20k and show key data such as average pace, elevation, distance and HR, per month for the past three years. Why? To allow more dynamic analysis of how your performance is developing, for e.g. long runs, marathons, intervals etc etc.

    Try the Advanced Filter on the Activities page, and add the fields that interest you, to the list. You can then also sort by the columns, or keep the default chronologic order.
