Location automatic added to Run, and shown on activity map?

Hello,

I have a Garmin forerunner 450, And I heard about a year ago that automatically the location of the run would be mentionned in the activity. This does not work with me, do I have to change some settings?

Also, when I want to view my Activities on the map on the "explore tab", and on the filter I mention "only my activities", I do not see any of my activities on the map.
Do I have to make my Activities public, before they show up on the map?
Would be a shame, as I do not want to make them public, just would like to see my activites "over the world".... :)

Regards,
Piet

    1) The default name for an activity is "untitled." It has been suggested that the default name be constructed of, say, the activity type, date, time, and maybe location (e.g., 25-May-2011-running), but this has not happened yet.

    2) Try typing in your username, and also delete everything in the location box (which by default says "current map view"). I haven't tested that with my activities being private, but that works for my activities which are public. However, I don't think you'll be able to quite see a world view (which is something I've also wanted). I think you'll be limited to your last 10 activities, and the map can't get too large without causing an error.
