I performed some searches on the forums and have not found reference to an issue that I am having.
I have uploaded over 3,000 activities to Garmin Connect since 2007. Recently I wanted to look at one of my old activities from 2009. All of the information for the activity displayed except its location on the map. The map showed a map of the whole world rather than showing my activity. I had the same result for every activity that I had looked at that were uploaded before May 23rd, 2009. I contacted Garmin Support, who looked at the issue, but have not recognized that anything is wrong with Garmin Connect.
As part of my analysis of the problem, I downloaded the TCX file for a couple of the problem activities to verify that there was no problem with them. The only difference that I noted was that the pre 5/23/2009 activities did not have any exported TCX UnitId and ProductID information for the Garmin Forerunner 305 that I was using at that time. The activities on or after 5/23/2009 had the information.
I was surprised to find that after I downloaded the TCX file for an activity and then refreshed my Garmin Connect query for the activity, it would then display the activity correctly on the map. Note that I did not re-upload the TCX files.
Since I don't look at old activities often, I can live with this issue. However, I am curious to find if any other Garmin Connect users are having the same issue with activities loaded prior to 5/23/2009. If any of you are curious, please look at some of your old activities (pre 5/23/2009) to see if they exhibit the same behavior as mine.
Thanks,
Martin
