Comments on Garmin Explore Web

There are plenty of issues to comment on, here are some:

  • The web page is SLOW. Always. This creates lots of confusion, "is this working or not or am I waiting for something to happen?"
  • There are essentially no error messages when things go wrong. 
  • It's not clear what direction information sync between web - phone - Garmin device (I'm using a Inreach Mini 2) What is the priority direction?
  • Cleanup of data, messages, trails, tracks is not intuitive or clear, if I clean up on one of the three, what happens when syncing?

This is a starter only...

    Agree, Garmin Explore web is a non-intuitive, outdated and slow piece of junk. Performance is indeed abysmal, the user experience is something from the 90s, and it doesn’t even have feature parity with Explore app (courses anyone?). And Garmin doesn’t seem to care at all.

    As for sync directions, I believe it’s a three way sync between device, app and web. When editing something in multiple places, the change made the latest will be reflected after a sync.

    When you delete an item in one place, it will be deleted from the other places as well after a sync. So if you delete a track from your device, it will be deleted from the Explore app and from Explore web.

    I completely agree. The current state of Garmin Explore Web is extremely frustrating and, frankly, damaging to Garmin’s reputation. A company that positions itself as a market leader with premium products cannot afford to have such an outdated, unintuitive, and slow web platform.

    The lack of feature parity with the Explore app, combined with the poor performance and 1990s-style user experience, sends a very contradictory message compared to the image Garmin promotes in terms of innovation and reliability. For many users, the web platform is an essential part of the ecosystem, and the fact that it lags so far behind is unacceptable.

    If Garmin truly wants to maintain its leadership and premium status, it needs to treat Explore Web as a priority rather than as an afterthought. Until then, the gap between what Garmin promises and what it actually delivers will remain evident—and disappointing.
