Where did it go? Motionbased features in Garmin Connect

Former Member over 16 years ago

Can anyone tell me where the following MB features/options are in GC?

- RSS feed of my rides
- Option to change between altimeter vs MB Gravity Web Svs
- Ability to take ride snippets and put them on my website
- Ride detail like grade, start/stop elevation, etc
- Analyzer
- Dot race
- Map view
- All of the things under the "more actions" menu

Are any of these hidden in GC? Are they just missing? Are they planned?

MB Gravity

If you have an Edge 305, 705 or any device with a Barometric Altimeter then you don't need MB Gravity. The elevation Gain/Loss should be fine (Connect does apply smoothing that MB never did ... gravity or not). GC will match the device within 3-5% tolerance and the device typically matches reality when you have good GPS signals.

If you have any Forerunner or a device without a barometric altimeter then better elevation corrections is needed...and on its way. Gravity was great, but it wasn't perfect. Elevation Corrections in Garmin Connect is a high priority...for all of us. In the meantime enjoy your inflated elevations to help inflate your ego :D

Map View

Available in Explore (simply check "My Activities") under advanced. A map preview would be nice in the Table no doubt, but it isn't there yet.

It would be nice if:
- my other 240 activities would appear soom time soon (and most are not large!!);
- although I'm kept busy deleting duplicated rides through the slow connect interface;
- and it always returns me to the first page of my activities list;
- and joining rides together, what a boon, but now missing;
- and when will activity weather conditions appear, and will they work on historical data as suggested?

I want to see my incline speed, decline speed and flat speed. I used it a lot as a learning tool.
