I agree. I'm not sure how this turned into an argument over the morality of what Garmin did to its team or which city is a better place to live. Purely from a customer perspective a major shakeup like this can't be good. Then again, given how long it took Garmin to get Connect working properly in the first place, it suggests that their commitment to it was never all that strong. If it were, I'd feel more confident that they could pull off this transition without a major disruption.
