I find it a pest, but agree with evo456.My main annoyance is the fact that each time I open it, it wants to update the Timezone and also tells me as I try to downlead that my device is not connected when it clearly is. Probably me ,I suppose but it is b****y annoying.

I have had to put mine back into the classic view so that I can actually send a course to my OH's edge 200. In the modern view, it will only send courses to my edge 500...
Garmin Express happily sees the Edge 200, as does the web interface and it shows up on the dashboard as well. The only thing that won't see the edge 200 is the 'send to device' when you are viewing a course!

I don't mind the new connect website. I quite like the way that they've stream lined the navigation. I thought the classic view was a pain to navigate around.

Which browser are you using? I've found that there is something wrong with my Chrome browser that won't load the Garmin website or the Strava website properly. If i load the webpages in Firefox for example, it works like a dream. Bear in mind that webpages are being streamlined for mobile devices, so expect a similar interface. You'll find the top left icon with the 3 horizontal lines is the menu button, which then leads you in the majority of the website.

I've been having the same problem with mine!

Firefox, and all the "Menu" icon does is to return me to the same page.
What I am having to do is go into the address bar, replace "modern" with "Classic" in the address and all is well.

so glad it is not just me. It's not a computer issue that is for sure. I had rebuilt our old one, the problem followed me. Then I tried a temporary one after a storm fried my old one, same fault despite being an different OS, and even the new one does the same. Boot it back into classic and you can send courses again. I think it was something to do with segments, but I have tried raising a support call for it only for the form to insist that I haven't selected a category from the previous page... only you can't leave the previous page unless you have selected a category, sub category and sub-sub category...
to get back to classic, click on that horrible thing that comes up on the left hand side, select the bottom option (settings) and you will see the words switch temporarily to classic... if you don't log out, it will stay in classic until you next eat too many cookies and have to provide your password again...
