Usability Problems With New Garmin Connect Web Courses Page

dgcorp
over 1 year ago

TLDR: With the list of courses on the left hand side, you cannot CTRL-Click to open into a new browser tab (or Right Click and select 'Open in New Tab'). This makes it SUPER ANNOYING when planning out what Ride/Run course I want to follow. #GarminPleaseFixThis

So I've got almost 600 courses saved in my Garmin Connect Courses.

My usual workflow is to: Open MyCourses list, then filter by Type e.g. 'Road Cycling', then add a distance filter e.g '50-80 Km'
   (* Props admittedly due to the Devs for the very useful new 'Course Name' filter and actually functional distance filters!)

I would then scroll through the list and open the Courses I was thinking about riding into New Tabs (so that I could look at the routes in more detail)

With the new UI (v4.65.2.0, 23.7.6.0) it does look better, but it has BROKEN the ability to open the separate courses into new tabs (NO Ctrl-Click or Right-Click)

If you click on a Course it loads the full Course Details page (which you could duplicate the tab), but then when you go back it has lost the Filters and you have to apply them again.

This makes looking at or comparing multiple courses almost impossible, thus making the new UI absolutely useless!

GARMIN DEVS... can this please be fixed ASAP (and if anyone knows a way of temporarily going back to the old UI, that would be really helpful!

Cheers, Derek

    In google.  Go to settings.  Search location.  Click and see if garmin connect has blocked permission to see location.  Switch to Always allow.

    Related with the COURSE POINTS, improvementes have been made, but not enough.

    When you assign a course point in the GARMIN Connect Web Couses Page, the FIT created is already correct (not at the beginning). But if you import a nuw course with course points included, the created FIT is wrong yet. See the picture.

    Even if I were to allow location access, the location would be wherever my IP is registered, which can be quite far from my actual location, and differ every day, depending on where I am.

    The old way was super handy: when creating a new course, the map would center around the courses I had created earlier. It worked really well.

    Thank you all for the feedback on the new updates to Garmin Connect regarding Course Creation/Interaction. Given that the original user's complaint of the inability to right-click open courses has been addressed, along with the feedback that maps were auto-returning to Olathe, KS incorrectly, we will be closing this thread.

    We understand there is additional feedback you all wish to share, including disruptions to how you have previously used Garmin Connect, and we ask that new threads be opened if you have additional concerns to report (excluding the above mentioned reports which have been resolved).
