Facebook share with Map thumbnail and Stats

Former Member

Runkeeper has a very pretty sharing with friends on facebook link. It contains a small summary of the stats fo the run and the thumbnail of the map run. I wish you could do the same, it makes it look better than just a link on facebook. we do use these things to decorate our feeds with content you know. thank you and keep the goo work.

    Greetings all. I agree with everything said. As of 7/29/13 I guess there's still no way to post a thumbnail? Map My Ride has that feature.

    Me and my wife just started using Garmin Connect (with FR 310xt) and really love it! After a long bicycle ride today we were suprised how poor the facebook sharing feature is :( No minimap, ride details were in miles (we use metric) and the whole message all together was not visually attractive.

    Please check the ideas of other services like Sports-Tracker, Runkeeper and others mentioned here. Mimic those and make it better than competitors feature ;)

    The Share buton is not clickable if the activity is set as private. You need to set the privacy to "Everyone", then you should be able to click share.

    Almost two years and still zero improvement...this and also the option to use metric in the fb post
    Competition from smartphone + cycling apps has already caught up. Open up Garmin!

    Hello, indeed : there is a padlock close to the share button on each single session webpage. It has to be cliked on and unlocked, then access is given for sharing on FB. THx :)

    +1. I'm amazed by how long this thread is. I just got the 610 and I think I'm going to love it, but Nike is whooping on Garmin in the aesthetic arena. The connect interface is nice but sharing on social media is not only ugly but really a wasted opportunity to share data. C'mon garmin!!

    +1. But given that this thread has been running since 2011, I don't hold out much hope.
    Little things, Garmin, little things make lots of people happy and they will keep buying your products.
    Lots of bad little things (like Forerunner 620 wireless :mad:) make people not so happy and they start to look elsewhere...
