| 2023-12-01 |  | | It's ALWAYS on. There's no way to turn it off. No option in the app. Clearing recently used apps doesn't work. It's always on and always draining your battery. EDIT: 7 years later... Still no way to turn it off. The only way you can stop it from running in the background is by uninstalling it. Just allow us to turn it off when we're not using it please! I only use the app/GPS a couple of times a month. I don't need it running every minute of every day!!! |
| 2023-02-25 |  | | Nice application,it's accurate location to my smart watch |
| 2022-03-19 |  | | Advanced weather doesn't work, after I bought it. Winter is over, never received weather alerts this winter. Asked support team for solution, but they didn't solve the problem |
| 2022-02-28 |  | | Works seamlessly with my Garmin device and updates its maps fast and easy. |
| 2021-12-05 |  | | can not get shared location from Google maps with pixel 6 pro |
| 2020-12-28 |  | | Why did this app collect 7.5Gb of user data in a month to my phones storage? Where is the option to allow access only while in use? Not impressed Garmin. |
| 2020-07-13 |  | | It just stopped working. |
| 2019-07-21 |  | | Just reinstalled the app om my samsung s7 and when I share location from google map the location is wrong on my Zumo 595l. This is one of the most important features everybody want to use so it should be a priority to get it right ! |
| 2019-04-10 | | | why is that on apple phones, i can see detail road names etc but not on android phones? can this app be updated so that i can have the same screen view like apple phones? |
| 2019-03-08 | | | The 5th March update has fixed the problems whereby it had been impossible on certain devices, to send directions from google maps or Foursquare. Now Note9 and 3560LM are talking again. BUT IT TOOK FAR TOO LONG GARMIN!! |
