From this website you can download Gfix by Xavier Cany.

For users using the Google Chrome web browser, you will be able to see Google Maps on the Activity 'Details' page.

This functions on Mac and XP computers.

A great first step - hopefully similar solutions will be found for the 'Player', 'Explore' and 'Dashboard' pages in GC.

    I'm spreading the word about this site because I think it's a good alternative. It's still a work in progress but I think it's nice. Here is my original text:

    All of you who are upset with Garmin Connect's switch to Bing should check out the following site. Membership is free and it works with your Garmin. I've had the best luck exporting my ride data in TCX format from the Garmin Training Center software and then uploading the file to the site, but the site also says it will work directly with your device.

    http://ridewithgps.com

    I especially like how the RideWithGPS site will let you calculate your average speed for an arbitrary section of your ride.


    It does not handle HR information correctly. According to the data I died multiple times (Heart Rate: 0bpm) multiple times on my run: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/140026

    There are still some glitches, to be sure, given that it's a fairly new site. I use it in conjunction with Garmin Connect - each has some advantages over the other.

    Awesome. It works for me. Microsoft's effort to promote Bing maps is forcing people to switch their web browser to Google Chrome from Internet Explorer. How ironic it is.

    Does anyone know if there is a Gfix for the Player mode???
    THANKS for the fix, BING SUCKS!!!!


    The 'Player' is in Flex witch is a too big hill for me to climb at the moment. Still I will try to add some tweaks over my holiday break.

    Happy training.

    Do you have any tricks up your sleeve that could allow us to blow up the map to full screen so we can get a nice big view of an activity instead of being trapped in a small window?

    New Gfix 0.2 for Chrome

    I have just released a new version of Gfix that allow laps control and the ability to view the map in full screen. http://tinyurl.com/gfix77

    I just started playing with this and I'm delighted. Detach the map and you can view it full screen. You can detach multiple instances of the map and view them in different formats, locations and zoom levels. :)
