Usability Problems With New Garmin Connect Web Courses Page

It works fine for them: Garmin International, Inc., 1200 E. 151st St., Olathe, Kansas 66062, USA.

For other users not so much, overall it's very old issue with Courses' and Segments' maps.

Currently it happens also when changing a map background.

Ouch!  I see what you mean.  I do like to right click and open in a new tab.

The new Courses view is unhelpful.  The course previews cause an unnecessary amount of scrolling, but worse, the "Recently Created" sort puts the oldest courses first, not the most recently created.  These are the ones I have recently created because I want to ride them.  I've sent that feedback as a suggestion through the customer support page.  Hoping that posting here will prompt them to fix all these problems.

Hm, strange, I get the newest courses at the top

Most probably not. They do not really monitor the user forums closely. It is always safer contacting the Support directly.

Same thing happens if you link a GPS activity to a Calendar event.

And it worked fine until the last week or so.

I haven't had this problem with the Course location resetting to 'Kansas' (I'm in the UK if that matter).. But I have noticed one Major and several Minor Bugs following the new Course page UI update a few days ago.

A) The biggest issue I've found so far (which for me really breaks how I select which ride/run I'm going to do ) is that on the Courses page, with the list of courses on the left side, you can no longer quickly open different courses in New Tabs (by Ctrl-Clicking or Right-Clicking and selecting 'Open in New Tab')
I've created a post with example pictures on the Garmin Forum, just for this issue!

I also emailed Garmin Support about the above, but I haven't heard anything back after a few days!

I've also noticed several other irritating 'bugs' with the viewing & editing of Courses:

1) Changing the Map Type or Map Layer very annoyingly resets the zoom + map focus to the start (Not back to Kansas)
2) Highlighting a section of the Elevation profile, shows on the map in a really similar colour (Darker Blue over Blue )
3) Difficulties Moving/Deleting course Dots / Course-Points
4) Not able to follow a track over some Popularity Data (Purple) Lines.
5) Error Message shown briefly, when switching into Edit Mode
6 On a 'Nearby Course' that I 'Duplicated' so I could edit and save in my account. After a Save/Reload/Edit, it seems to have stopped allowing me to actually making any changes.

Agreed, the inability to open in a new tab is a PITA - I had it as my last bullet :D

I haven't even tried creating a new course since the update. It's so hard to see what courses I've already got now.

edit: Given the complete lack of testing which seems to have occurred, one might hope they'll roll back to the old version for a while...

Not that it helps you much @7823482, but just to say that I'm getting the correct sorting order when I select "Sort By: Recently Created".
This is true when I'm on "My Courses" and "Favourites", both with NO filters selected and Filters Enabled.

(Not to say that you are not seeing a different bug!)

Sort order works for me, but I can only see 1 1/2 entries in the list on my screen now they've put the pointless mini-map in there.

Weirdly, the sort order was wrong on two different PCs, until after trux's post, and is OK now.  The pointless previews and inability to open a specific course on a new tab are still a problem
