Toggle Map Visibility for Collection EYE hides all activities in Map view including the one you wish to view.

6756833

Hi Guys,  I am new to the Garmin Stable and have a Inreach Mini2, Garmin Explore Web (GEW) and Garmin Explore App (GEA).  I think I have all the units syncing correctly.  I have completed a number of Activities on the Mini2 and synced them with the GEA and can view them on the Samsung 24S.  They even appear to sync up correctly to the GEW.  I walk regularly in the same general area so many activities are overlapping previous activities.  What I wish to be able to do is show individual Activities on the Map View screen.    The key to this appears to be related to the “Toggle Map Visibility for Collection” EYE. If I turn off the eye on the collection header line all the activities disappear and all that remains are a few Black Dos representing the activity  I wished to view.     I have cleared out Browser History, Cache, Temporary files to no avail. 

On very rare occasions this has sort of worked but I can’t work out the logic of it.

Any help greatly appreciated.  The Map View already looks like spaghetti and unusable.

    My advice: forget about Explore web. It's outdated, doesn't seem to be maintained anymore by Garmin, it's full of bugs, very unintuitive to use and doesn't have feature parity with the Explore app (for example support of Courses or Outdoor Maps+ layers).

    As for your issue with hiding activities, it appears that when you open a collection, the eye icon in the header does work and will hide the items within the collection. Items that are not in a collection or in a different collection are not affected so those will still be visible. Hiding a category of items (e.g. activities) by selecting the category from the library list and using the eye icon in the header doesn't seem to work at all.

    Hi JungleJim,

    What I am trying to do is have a situation where I can select a single activity and then by pressing the EYE all the other activities will disappear from the map.

    The crazy thing about this is that I had started this query a few weeks back and YES I could display a single activity, click it from the list of activities, and have the other activities disappear by pressing the EYE.  Happy Days but the next time I came into the GEW I could no longer achieve this.

     

    I have review the Garmin Forum backwards for many months and must admit that I have seen very few posts that appear to have positive outcomes.   Pity it would make working on Garmin Explore much easier than on the app.  I will just have to learn how to use GEA.

     

    Thank you for the reply and regards, Heber

    The “eye” (visibility toggle) in Garmin Explore Web doesn’t always work as expected, especially when activities belong to collections. Even if you hide one item, it may still appear if it exists in another visible collection.
