Please keep Classic Garmin Connect

Former Member over 11 years ago

I do not like the Modern style.
I hate Windows 8 tile interface.
The current Modern style is very buggy.

Examples: Right now I cannot view it in Chrome. None of the tiles show up. The menu sidebar does nothing. Was this tested in Chrome at all?
When I switch to IE, I found that I cannot type into the Search field when I'm viewing the activities list.

I am quite happy with the classic version. Please keep it.
I realize this is a free service you offer, but I am seriously considering going somewhere else to track my workouts.

Do you have adblocker or some other similar plugin?

I agree entirely. I never had any trouble with the Classic Garmin Connect. But I can't get this new version to even recognize my FR70. Without tracking my runs, the FR70 is just a watch to me. I really wish Garmin would provide a Connect program we could download onto our computers so we can continue to use even after they try to "modernize" something.

Please bring back some version of Classic Connect and let my FR70 work again!!

Are you able to manually upload from your FR70? Have you tried the steps in this FAQ https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId=%7B600f3dd0-3e6a-11dd-d7af-000000000000%7D

There is slim to zero chance that they will be keeping the classic version with all the development costs they have put into it. But I agree its incredible buggy and was a rushed job. Now lets just hope they fix all the issues soon.

Though soon is relative - the MFP sync problem has been going on since it was released a few weeks ago, and I wont even mention the segments disaster.

I had the same problem last week, the next day it worked OK again. :confused:

Help! I can't get Garmin Connect to work at all! All I get is a blue-ish page with a bit text (link to help etc) and 4 icons that do nothing when I click on them.
Tried in chrome, firefox and IE.

Is it possible to connect to the old interface?

0 SUSSAMB over 11 years ago

Something on your PC is blocking it, mostly folks with this issue are using ghostery or something similar.

Thanks Sussamb .. AdBlock apparantly. With Ad Block disabled I was able to switch back. Will have to give the new interface a longer trial at some point. It looked cool enough, but did not seem intuitive compared to the old one.
