Cannot Scroll Map With Touch in Post-Activity Map View or In Activity History.

When you complete an outdoor activity like a run or a hike, there is an option to view the Map of the activity. When you go to the map, you cannot use touch to scroll/move the map. The buttons work though. I have ensured that touch is enabled. Kindly fix as using buttons to scroll/move the map is very cumbersome and I would like to use touch to scroll/move the map after my activity. 

FR 955 Solar

FW v11.12

    Yes, I confirm that bug. The touch scroll/move does not work, even if the touch is enabled in settings of that particular activity.
    Please report to Garmin, as I don't expect them to track this forum.

    For touch to work in the map screens you have to have touch enabled system wide even if you have touch enabled for the specifci activity (don't ask me why, add it to the 'garmin screw up list'). Is that the case for you?

    Otherwise this is yet another bug/issue with the FR955...

    Maybe, but at this particular situation "When you complete an outdoor activity like a run or a hike, there is an option to view the Map of the activity", the touch does not work, even the touch is enabled both system wide and within the activity. Just try yourself... Inside the activity, when you add a custom data field with the map, the touch works perfectly.

    Yes touch is enabled system-wide and in the activity. Still does not work.

    How do I report directly to Garmin? I have seen Garmin reps answer things here at times so I thought the forum was the place to report bugs.

    Cheers, guess I'll be sending a general bug reporting/when are you going to fix your *** mail there (without any expectations and even if just to vent).

    Just got a Forerunner 955.  I'm VERY far from an expert, but the best hack I could find is to set a "hotkey" to enable touch in settings.

    Then in the map view, select "pan and zoom" and long-hold the hot-key to enable touch, and long-hold to disable it system-wide again.

    From what I can tell, it seems the global touch on/off setting overrides the per-activity settings rather than the other way around?  Not super helpful for my use case: enable ONLY for maps and disable everywhere else.
