touchscreen map during activity

Yes you're right. I'd like to have the option to control map by touch even if the touch is disabled.

Now that they enabled that touch can actually end activities (or is this only for strength training?) it would be great to have a "just map" and "scrolling pages" touch option.

Otherwise I have to deactivate it for watersport activities, where I might take a dive and accidently discard the activity after contact with water, entirely.

So it would be 3 touch options:
- Touch on
- Touch only scrolling pages and maps
- Touch off

I agree that there needs to be a touchscreen option for "Only when viewing maps". That is literally the only time I use my touchscreen.

I set up a hotkey so that I only have to long-press my top right button to toggle it on and off, which helps a lot. But It would be even better if it just turned on or off automatically depending on whether I'm viewing the map or not.

Not helping during activity because when swipe up or down than switch to next data field.

That's no problem to solve in software. Just disable the data field switch on the map screen and done 

How? Please

Ask Garmin this is a feature they would need to develop. 

Hold START + DOWN to toggle touchscreen on and off during activity.
