Strava has segments...Whereas Garmin Connect is an utter ghost town for segments. Abject. Ghost town.
There are dozens of segments in my city on Strava...Connect has THREE. Garmin should have saved their money and not bothered creating a Strava-clone that will by all looks never ever take off.

It can, you can port Strava segments to fit files and race the segments real time as they come on your E1K:

Only downside is that like Connect segments the leaderboards do not auto-update...but the dev claims to be working on something like that. Garmin limitations of 50 segments on device still apply IIRC.
