Horrible mapping - 2k watch won’t sync

nayfanuel on

Australia

Still no fix. Will NOT sync. Joke of a company. Pay $2K for a watch and find out that none of the services actually work. GET METRIC. For real, not just in data points, but in the topo maps. Seriously if someone was trying to make a bad app they couldn’t do this bad. This app and the iPhone one do NOT sync with your expensive watch. You’re stuck, on the side of a mountain because Garmin don’t care about improvement. Syncing doesn’t work anymore. Shows it’s connected. Won’t sync any information. Why don’t you fix this horrible app?

A++++

Good way to stay safe

Small convent remote message system

Contacts

Rush006 on

Is there a way to edit contacts in the app? I can’t work out how to edit a contact.

Excellent for the Instinct

fernywombat on

Australia

Garmin Explore has been brilliant since I first bought my Instinct 3 years ago. I use it for all my navigation needs and the app seems to have had several updates which have made it incrementally better over time.

Terrible

shsysgenekdirbe on

Australia

This app is terrible. You can’t even do software updates.

Display always on?

zooglepoo on

Australia

The app is okay but we need a feature that allows the display to be always on

Horrendous

Tj_Edwards on

Australia

Considering how much they charge per month this app is the most underwhelming piece of software out there. Clunky, bug riddled and not even slightly intuitive. Want to follow the same dirt road you just traveled down? Nope, you can with those app. Your map is just covered in colours lines that you can’t easily remove. Automatically plan a route? Not a chance. Save your money

Easy to use maps

Colso50 on

Australia

The only issue I have is I cannot find the legend for the map symbols lines etc.

Easy to use

Dave7766 on

Australia

Easy to use software. Covers all my navigation needs without any fuss. App doesn’t always synch perfectly with website. If it did, I’d rate it five stars.
