The Garmin connection requires that you connect your account once with Garmin and then that functions. Other than that, it does require that you login only to use some of the services like weather and surface classifications (these cost me money so I put a daily cap on them, they don't cost you anything) and obviously store the Garmin connection info so you don't have to link with Garmin every time you want to send a route to them.
