Taking a page from Apple's book, Garmin will introduce a new "widget-style dashboard" whereby users will be able to customize the appearance of their Connect home page based on their type of activities and data preferences. Garmin says the revamped site will be easier and more intuitive to navigate through, too. Users can customize which widgets go where on their homepage The new Garmin Connect will even include free training plans that can be uploaded directly to compatible GPS-enabled devices. Some people have anticipated that Garmin Connect and Strava might eventually join forces, but other new features on the revamped site suggest that the two entities will instead continue on in parallel.
