Comments on Garmin Explore™ for Android

★★★★★ Jesse Cole · Apr 10, 2026

It took a little getting used to. Not a huge learning curve. I wish it would do breadcrumb tracking without needing a second devise. It uses your phones' gps feature already to show location in real time so why not add the tracking. The rest of the features are spot on. Offline maps are very handy. Route building with the option to share the gpx is outstanding. Too much to list in just 500 characters. Stay safe out there and EXPLORE my friends!

★★★★★ Joel Winter · Jul 22, 2026

For the 2nd time this week, I could program a route from start to finish while sitting on the BART train to the starting point. The route planner with popularity map plus my course preferences made it very easy. Thanks Garmin!

★★★★☆ Pouria S · Jan 19, 2026

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. Also with All trail now being so cheap and compatible with Rogers Satellite I think Garmin needs to rethink their pricing.

★★★★★ Pete Millis · Apr 5, 2026

Fantastic Garmin app for plotting routes and POIs, and syncing them with my Garmin etrex SE. So easy and pain free. Love it

★☆☆☆☆ rob grey · Jul 12, 2026

Garmin explore purposely makes it difficult to use their garmin in reach mini 2 without allowing garmin to harvest your data. Unusable. I returned the in reach mini 2. I bought it to have the ability to send simple messages to reassure family when I'm in the wilderness to keep them happy. Just one contact. I don't want Garmin harvesting my contacts and messages. I don't need their maps, I carry a map in my pocket. They want all your phone data.

★★☆☆☆ Richard Walker · Jul 19, 2026

This was as a great App when paired with my Fenix watch, but recently it's really starting to do my head in. The settings are overly complicated. Creating a course on the Map is becoming frustrating as you try to link up say 2 paths that are 100 m apart & it will inexplicably add 5 km to your course with a convoluted loop. And now, all the labels (place names, POIs, etc.) have just vanished. Gone through all the Garmin suggested options & still nothing!!!

★★☆☆☆ Gareth Evans · Feb 8, 2026

Couldn't find a cycle route option and the hiking route creator didn't snap to footpaths the default was to go by road. OS maps are better just takes an extra step to add the GPX to your watch. Also, no library of other user maps to share, unless I missed the feature because I had already given up on it.
