I only noticed them today, but now the entry and exit coordinates for a dive are displayed on the dive page in Garmin Connect (Web). You can edit them which allows you to copy it to be pasted elsewhere.
Cool feature. Like it. It would be nice if these fields would show up by default (even without GPS data in the FIT file) and if they would be manually editable.
For two reasons: 1. GPS problems. I have dives in my log where GPS did not work properly and only entry or exit point were set. I cannot (without touching the FIT file) add the missing point.
2. Old dives (done without GPS dive computer) transferred to GC logbook
Given how Garmin has handled other activities, I doubt they ever intended Connect to be a full featured dive log. For cycling everyone uses Strava, and there is a direct connection between the two. Connect gives you basic information, and I would be surprised if they ever expanded on this. I was using Subsurface before I purchased the Descent, and continue to use it.
Well, I know that, I like especially Subsurface, played around with it already when LT put it on Github. Just wanted to comment on the fact that there is an EDITABLE GPS field implemented and its appearance is triggered exclusively by entries in the FIT file. No entry point in the FIT file -> no entry point in GC. Even if the GPS recorded an exit point. Hmmm....
Actually, I think it is a bug and it was not intended by Garmin to work this way. And yes, I know how Garmin handles other activities and bugs/feature requests in general (and of course there are other, way more important problems to fix regarding the MK1).
