Dismissing a road hazard

Why is there no way to dismiss a road hazard?  Someone reported an animal on an MTB trail near an intersection a week ago.  Now every time you are close to the reported location even if you are not on the same trail, you get a notification.  There needs to be a way to mark these hazards as "not there anymore" similar to Waze or this feature is going to be worthless.

It would also be useful if the hazards showed up on ride logs in Garmin Connect.  I can see this being useful on MTB trails to mark downed trees and other trail issues as I am riding then see them after the fact similar to the jumps and climb markers.  The only way I have found to see them is select a course that crosses the hazard.  Otherwise they do not show up on maps in Garmin Connect.

  • Because the extremely prudent programmers working for garmin assigned the animal category an alert validity of 180 days.

    I have already written in another thread on this forum that, as it stands, all this threat reporting is completely useless. No possibility to set the radius of detection of such, no effective deletion of warnings which are long outdated ( including YOUR OWN sic! ).

  • Thanks for the information.  Seems like a big miss on their part, and I will be disabling the feature on my Edge.

  • Disabled the hazard warning on my Edge as well.. Totally worthless currently.
