Larger Google Map "Work-around"

That's a good tip but the map isn't very useful w/o the tracking!

OK here's a workaround to view your activity in a large GoogleMaps window:

Go to view details on the activity you want to view
Copy the the activity ID# (series of numbers at the end of the url)
In the url below replace "activity_id" with the activity ID you just copied

"maps.google.com/mapsactivity_id?full=true"

For example:
My activty in GC is (without quotes) "connect.garmin.com/.../9625310"
To view in Google Maps "maps.google.com/maps9625310?full=true"

When you launch the GoogleMap view it will take a while to load, especially for longer activities, as it is loading every trackpoint. I'm not sure how to avoid this, other than unchecking trackpoints after they load. This may be the reason that this has not been implemented yet in Garmin Connect.

This is strange. The workaround doesn't work for me either (Mac OSX 10.6.8). Here's the really strange thing, though: yesterday my latest upload somehow opened in a full screen map, with track, when I double-clicked on it, yet today I can't replicate it! Most odd!

Ah! Got it! It wasn't quite as I'd imagined it had been, but clicking the 'start' (green blob) icon opened up the 'Player'. Bigger map, everything 'connected', moving bits - cool!
