Hi all,
As this is a common featured request I thought I would register and show how I worked around the issue. The default location changes each week depending on number of uploads or something, but as the links never change we override this on the browser side and force the location to be whatever you want :D
To set your default location to YOUR default location you will need to use:
- Firefox browser
- Redirector plugin
So install Firefox & the plugin or if you're already a Firefox user then just download the plugin and restart FF. This should now show 'R' icon in lower right corner - you can turn Redirector on/off my clicking the icon.
Now browse to Garmin Connect | Explore page and it will show the current default map. Enter your chosen default location and hit search, if you want to adjust the map drag it around and hit the search again.
Now copy the URL from the address bar, it should look like this:
connect.garmin.com/explore
With either a location or GPS coordinates embedded in the URL.
Now right click on the 'Explore' link on the blue tab and select 'Add link URL to redirector'
In the dialogue box, copy your URL (with the custom coordinates) into the 'Redirect To', overwriting the default http://connect.garmin.com/explore.
Click Ok.
The next time you click Explore or the sub link, Activities it will take you to your default location. :D
Hope this help everyone.
