Hi,
For me the whole "explore" functionality would need significant improvement to be useful:
- It would be nice to allow users to enter some description and classification of a course. Right now I don't see what sports it is intended for, how difficult the trails are etc. etc. So for me it is pretty useless to look for a course on Garmin Connect because I don't really know what to expect from the courses I find. Also it would be nice to be able to see which user created the course and to be able to send a message to that user, maybe to ask a question or even see if he wants to go for a ride together. The site gpsies.com does a much better job here.
- Also it would be nice to be able to find users by geographical location. I don't have many riding partners in my area so it would be great to use Garmin Connect to find new ones. I understand that some users may not want to be found, but that could be handled via a profile setting, similar to the setting whether an activity our course is public or not.
Cheers, Robert
