Latest Explore update 4.16 breaks the gps track look

Hi all,

My only use case for Garmin Explore (because it's routing feature is far worse than others) is to use it as a history of where I have been. I really loved the way it showed the GPS tracks of all my activities on a single map. This allowed me to get a feel for how far different places are from each other, or the difficulty of one hike vs another.

However, in the latest update Explore 4.16 Garmin apparently changed this to only show GPS tracks for the last seven days instead of all time, and now my map is clogged by giant icons.

Has anyone else had this happen? is there a way to return my app to displaying the useful gps tracks all together? Or even a toggle to choose which tracks are displayed in full. These giant icons scale weirdly, block each other, and don't allow me to really view my map.

  • The same thing happened with mine and I have the exact same use case as you. It used to offer a great personal heat map as well as a way to explore new areas by seeing where I've already been. 

    I haven't figured out a way to view all of the tracks again in settings. The odd gpx import I did are still there, so a clunky option would be to export activities in Connect to gpx, then import onto Explore web. Not ideal and not something I think I would end up doing for all of my activities. 

    It would be great to have the option to display all of the activity tracks.
