Confusing modern version

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago
Simple question and thus demanding a simple answer:
The “modern” version of Garmin connect is completely user-unfriendly.
I used to see a list of activities by date. I could click on one and it gives you all the info for that one activity. Now only the very latest activity displays – and it only gets a small portion on the left top on the page. The rest is rubbish rubbish rubbish - THAT I DO NOT NEED!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:
Please give me only what I need: THE DETAILS OF AN ACTIVITY THAT I CAN PICK BY DATE

    I think this in an issue with your browser rather than Connect. I get a full list of activities, that can be sorted in various ways including by date. Clicking on an activity brings up the full detail on that activity. Using IE11.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, that was what I used to get with my first 910XT. And I still get that (for the old activities) when opening Connect with EI (don't know which version)
    but the new setup still gives me a long list of rectangles (unable to post print-screen on here!!) with calories, gear, calendars, reports, devices, course, segments, personal records, workouts, goals .......
    I just need that picture that you posted above. please help !!!

    I assume that you are "lost" on the dashboard of Garmin Connect. The dashboard can be customized so you can remove each block that you don't need.
    If you need to activity overview list then click in the left sidebar on the top icon (3 horizontal lines) and then choose "Activities" and then you get the screen that is displayed here above.

    Here is the answer to my question:
    Top right of each unwanted block, click on gear for settings, then remove them all one by one.
    Click on 3 hor bars top left and add only activities
    On gear logo for settings click on go to full page


    Next question: I changed the settings on the web site to "metric", but it still reads miles. yes the instrument is set on km and meters
    thanks

    Units in miles vs metric

    On the 910XT instrument itself I have chosen "metric" for swim, run and bike. On the Garmin Connect site I have chosen "metric" on the pc as well. However, activities are displayed in miles on the pc (on G Connect)
    what now?
    thanks:confused:

    Hello Lochi,

    On the Modern home page that shows the 8 boxes.

    Upper left area click the head and shoulders icon.

    Then click settings.

    Then click Display Preferences.

    Then under Measurement Units select Metric.

    Then go back to Activities and select one and it should be in meters.

    If not then refresh the website and check the activity again.

    Hello Lochi,

    Just guessing here but try Switching to Classic and then in the upper right area click your user name then settings then change Measurement Units to metric then close out completely.

    Then reopen Connect Modern and check an activity???
