• Forerunner 45 loses activities when paused

  Logged into connect.garmin.com, clicked the cloud icon in the top right and chose import data. Source: 10 months ago

• Do hiking trails come with the maps on fenix7?

  Correct. You can load a GPX file, create a "Course" on Garmin Connect mobile app or on connect.garmin.com, or you can use Komoot, which is very popular too. If you use Komoot, make sure to use "Navigate with Garmin", not "Navigate with Komoot" when starting the activity. Source: 10 months ago

• How does everyone export GPX tracks to their watch, using 3rd party apps

• In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users

  Had the same experience, and ended up being satisfied with Magic Earth[1]. I tried more or less every major navigation service (paid and "free"), and I ended up sticking with it. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way; just wanted to share a recommendation because I was in the same boat. [1]https://magicearth.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Does your city have the bicycle route option for Google Maps? Mine doesn’t.

  Don't bother with Google Maps. Not just for cycling but also for driving. There's better options like Osmand or Magic Earth that actually use a map instead of a yellow pages for navigation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating from iOS, deciding if installing Calyx or Graphene on Pixel 4a

  Try Magic Earth for a Google Maps replacement (you can try it out on your iPhone now and download via Aurora Store on CalyxOS). It’s better than Google Maps in many aspects (except public transport and looking up places, but you can easily use separate apps for that, namely the app/website of your local public transport company and a search engine/Yelp/TripAdvisor).

• Google Maps and Google Play Services warning

  If you need live traffic information, Magic Earth might be something for you. Source: over 2 years ago
