    Easy to use and pair data. I’ve been using Garmin for 30ish years and really like them, bike head units too.
  • Explorer is awesome

  • Sync

    Syncing doesn’t work reliably. Remove items from this app and then sync the GPS. It’s still on that GPS. So either the app is lying about it. Or it doesn’t work.

    Hangs up rather frequently. Courses not reliably syncing to InReach Mini3
  • It’s been broken for two years now

    They tried to improve the app with a new mapping and routing engine. Now the best case for topo lines is 100 foot intervals which can be completely useless for hiking. To make things even better they broke the routing engine: many trails on the map are simply not routable. That means if you click anywhere on the trail, you can get a crazy course to get somewhere near there and then a direct line into that point on the trail. It could be miles out of the way. This problem has been there for years now.
  • Great for following and finding trails

    This is the greatest app of all time. I use it all the time for finding new trails to hike and to navigate where I am as it syncs with my Garmin watch as I’m doing an activity. And the cumulative map showing every GPS activity you’ve ever recorded is just so cool! Only thing is I wish there were more colors you could change your activities to on the map!!
  • Good enough but always crashes??

    Sufficiently competent for route planning and sending to device, but inexplicably must crash 4-5 times in a row before it’ll open? Absolutely frustrating. Once it’s done crashing it works as advertised.
  • Just keeps getting worse

    It is great that it can route downloaded maps while offline but the detail is extremely limited from what it use to be. Mapbox has better features than this. COROS’ map ui far outweighs with current trails and route building tools. Yet, Garmin is the watch I have. Ugh
  • Canceled Subscription Still Charged

    Find customer service to get my money back seems to be impossible. Will be disputing with my credit card company. So incredibly annoyed.
  • Constantly Freezes

    I really want this app to work. Have it paired with my fenix 8 pro, offline with downloaded maps and a custom route, freezes every 5-15 minutes. Sounds like it’s happening to others.
