Comments on Garmin Explore™ for Android

★★★★★ Great maps and app too. Unfortunately offline maps do not show anymore. I do not like the new map theme (I prefer to select map layers). No subscription please.
★★★★★ Since the recent updated version with Satellite maps much, much better. Still learning "how to" with a few things, but way better than the previous version. 👍
★★★★★ Much improved since I last reviewed it, integrates well with the watch, and I use it for navigation quite often. Feature request - show the collections that activities belong to as tiles on the activities page, the same as it works for courses. When adding an activity to a collection, sometimes it doesn't 'take,' and you have to do it twice. That way it'll be easy to see the change, and it also makes the UX uniform between activities and collections.
★★★★★ Garmin products are highly reliable and of excellent quality. However, I respectfully request Garmin’s consideration to incorporate support for Malaysia’s official topographic coordinate reference systems, namely West Malayan RSO (Kertau 1948) and Borneo RSO (Timbalai 1948). The inclusion of these coordinate systems would significantly improve positional accuracy and usability for local topographic mapping and field navigation in Malaysia.
★★★★★ Nice to see trails have been added to this app but the way Garmin Trails look in Garmin Connect is much better than this app. They need to make them look the same. Also would be able to add other search filters like "snowshoe" also, rather than going into the Garmin trails section it would be better to use the search magnifier.
★★☆☆☆ It's crazy that a company specializing in navigation has such miserable map app. Slow, laggy, crashing. No control over the map downloads, the app downloads maps updates at will, nothing in the settings to stop it. The ordering of the in Reach messages is totally random, makes it hard to find messages when it mixes recent messages with messages from years ago.
★★☆☆☆ Very poor app. I'm glad it's not something I rely on or use frequently, and the Fenix 8 has good enough maps for me. I wouldn't have bought my Fenix if I then had to rely on this terrible app for mapping!
★★☆☆☆ This was fantastic when I first started using it about 3-4 years ago but is now so glitchy it's unusable. Shuts itself down all the time. Doesn't load up routes I've plotted. Shuts down when creating routes.
★★☆☆☆ This whole Garmin experience sucks Its one of the worst UXs I've ever experienced Its hot garbage I'm just trying to get a Google map route imported as a KML maybe as a track maybe as a route having to sync using my phone using the desktop app I mean this is more than incompetence it's gross negligence It's almost intentional. You just need to figure out how to integrate Google Maps You're trying to recreate something way worse than already exists.
