[feature request] Garmin Explore App for Fenix 5 line

The new app from Garmin named Explore is what many of us where asking for, struggling to use import/export from 3rd party app
the mobile app Garmin Connect is actually poor if you want to draw/modify a path on your mobile just befole you leave the road
How many times you happen to have uploaded a gpx from your laptop, but when you arrive at the start of your trail...you need to change, maybe because the weather conditions are differnet, maybe because you woke up late and it won't be safe to start a 8h hike with only 6h to dawn

Let's bother Garmin to make this app working with our Fenix 5!!!!!

Garmin Explore is just a dumbed down version of Garmin Earthmate that has the collections added that's missing from Earthmate. Which Earthmate is missing btw.

It's just more Garmin app bloat. Explore should just be Earthmate and pair with both devices. And both should be one app that's part of GMC. Since they all do part of managing the same devices, but not all it.

So, instead of getting route management for your GMC account, you're getting route management for your inReach account. Go ahead and plan your next race on your calendar... But, you can't put the route on it... That's a different service.

You need Earthmate for managing inReach device maps, way points ,updates, etc...

Very disappointing that Garmin won't just fix one platform. They just keep making new half baked ones instead.
