Activities: Why does it default to Charlotte?

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hi Guys,

Just purchased my Forerunner 310XT and am very happy with it. Furthermore, Garmin Connect works great, except for a few items that are somewhat annoying:

- Firstly, why does the map always default to Charlotte. I want to make it default to where I live (seems obvious, I must be missing something).
- Secondly, another blatantly missing feature is for me to be able to capture a list of my 'friends' so that the Activities view automatically filters to what they are doing (I am not interested in the default view of 'what is anyone, whom I don't even know doing')

Are these things that other people have also noticed?

Cheers
Olaf

Hi Guys,

I assume that you are referring to the explore view. It doesn't always default to Charlotte. Default cities are rotated periodically. However, I agree that the user should be able to change this.

another blatantly missing feature is for me to be able to capture a list of my 'friends' so that the Activities view automatically filters to what they are doing

Another good feature. Currently there is a FB app called MyMotionBased that does something very similar. Nothing built into Garmin Connect yet.

Thanks for the response.

I noticed another quirky feature on the 'Explore' function. I scroll the map to the location that I want (so that I can see some exercise details for some of my friends). Then I click on one of those events to see the details. Thereupon, if I click back (on my browser) to get to the previous page, I am back in Charlotte again (and have to re-scroll the map all over).

I really hope this gets tweaked, right now I find the 'Explore' functionality a bit painful - and all the building blocks are there, it just needs a few tweaks to make it work well.
