Too basic
Garmin hardware is great, but their software are soooo bad! No satellite image , can't export waypoints, can't measure distance between points and so on...

Garmin Explore™ Reviews
Camada aérea no app
Somente na web vc consegue alterar entre camadas. Seria muito bom se no app pudesse usar com a camada área
Excelente
App é excelente! Muito fácil de gerar waypoints, achar lugares legais para visitar e ate criar rotas para usar offline, uso na minha camionete, com um ipad, recomendo!
Complicado
Não é fácil de operar e não consigo emparelhar meu Forerunner 945
My review
There is some things I love and some things I do not. I wish there was better information on how to use it and not so much having to mess with it to figure it out. I love the texting and being able to let my loved ones fallow me on my adventures.
Great Fun
This app works like so many adventure type maps should.
Garbage
Don’t bother. “Connection Timed Out” appears within seconds when pairing. Garmin needs to hire a few Apple engineers to overhaul all their UIs . And they need to internalize the idea that their users are not in Kansas, so software should work without a data connection. C’mon guys…
Dark mode for maps
Great but need dark mode for maps and ability to edit courses made in the connect app
Garmin Only!!
Just stick to Garmin, other brands are inferior. I’ve used my inReach mini 2 several times now and it’s incredible. Loving how it works so well with phone to send messages.
One of the worst hiking map apps out there
Just finished the JMT and used Garmin Explore along with my InReach for the better part of it. When compared to other trail apps, like AllTrails, Explore completely fails in every category. Not only are the maps low quality — like Windows 98 quality — but unlike the Garmin Messenger app, Explore either has a hard time refreshing or reconnecting to the satellite device, or it simply doesn’t provide any useful updates to its status. It basically failed every time I needed it most. At one point, during a side hike, I simply gave up and used AllTrails with my iPhone’s GPS, sans the InReach. The experience was night and day. Though it definitely drained my phone’s battery much faster, AllTrails exceeded every expectation. For a company that’s been in the GPS and map game for so long, the folks at Garmin have utterly failed at something other, newer companies do so well.
