My problems with Create Course which I use in Custom Drawing Method:

- Garmin maps are not as accurate as komoot, ridewithgps, plenty of data is missing like official tourist routes or small roads

- editor is not as good as on mentioned websites, I just ran into issue that I have to start from beggining because of weird track creation process where create course draw some part of path and I deleted last point but path not returned to previous state

- editor in Custom Drawing Method lacks things like: all points list, arrows on path in which direction it goes

    Agree. The course planner is unbelievably bad in Connect (App and web).

    Strava is so much better (even though the route creator isn’t free). Even free sites like milermeter.com and onthegomap.com are better.

    I also feel like the waypoint editor in the Connect app is useless. Like if you just delete the final waypoint, it messes up the entire course instead of shortening it as you’d expect

    I am just giving some constructive feedback as Garmin already put an effort to give us this version so they could put more effort into this and release improved version Slight smile

    BTW I deleted my Strava like 3 weeks ago and I was there from 2012

    Sure no argument there Thumbsup

    It's just hard to see how Garmin will catch up on certain things (routes, segments, social features) that others have been better at for years. In the case of social features, for example, it doesn't seem like Garmin even bothers to try (Strava pretty much has a monopoly there.) (Route planning might be a different story, since no one service seems to have a monopoly there.)

    Garmin must focus on improving their product as whole not only hardware wise. I want to create tracks and send them to watch on connect app. Sooner or later Apple, Coros, Amazon, Huawei or some other company will add this. It is only logical step for Garmin to give their users better services to keep it's users on their platform.

    Social features better on Strava... it's somehow connect with connect. Food tracking integrated with myfitnesspal... BTW I would be happy if Garmin buy Cronometer and do it as part of connect. This is also missing from their app. When I am fasting why Connect suggest me to do hard training. How it can predict what should I do without knowledge of my carbs intake. It's another missing thing on connect in my opinion.
