Tracks shown on mapshare are actually non-existent

On my mapshare page there are 2 tracks

But if I click on that collection, no track is shown!

All filters are disabled!

It seems that mapshare has in the background in its database tracks recorded with an old device of mine which are no longer visible or deleteable. Does anyone have the same problem?

I also have this issue. Searching the forum, it appears it has been around for a while. Map menu shows track in collection - but there is none - GPSMAP 66i - inReach - Garmin Forums

I have not done a lot of investigating, but it seems to occur when an activity is deleted on the device then a sync initiated. If deleted from the explore map first, and then the device it does not occur. It would be nice to have an activity clear all / reset function which also resets the counters available on the explore map.

Yes exactly, it seems to be as you described it. The problem is that I no longer have the original device that uploaded that "ghost track" because Garmin replaced it due to other problems.

So that ghost track will probably stay there forever.

I also have the same "ghost messages" problem described in the post you quoted. Messages that appear and disappear randomly. Another "strange" thing, is that if you delete a conversation, once you receive a new message from the same contact, the whole conversation is restored. Garmin, are you serious??? You have to delete every single message to be "sure" (???) that you have deleted it. Deleting the conversation is just a way to hide it until you receive a new message. Really a nice feature.

I had to ask Garmin support twice to remove these "ghost" tracks... They deleted them on their end, but of course this does not solve the problem nor does it give us a chance to solve it ourselves. Every time a new "ghost" track appears, you have to contact Garmin support and ask them to delete it. Nice!

Thanks for the feedback. It is good to know they can / will fix it on their end. Agreed that it would be nice for us to do it ourselves.
