    ....at long last! You can directly link your garmin express account to your strava account now, just upload to garmin website or sync with garmin express and data will appear on strava within 5 minutes.

    I tried this today but it didn't work. I think this is maybe because I uploaded to Garmin before signing up to the option to sync on Strava. It looks like it works for new activities and doesn't sync retrospectively - which makes sense.

    I think both sites are overwhelmed last night as after three hours my new Garmin hadn't synced and I had to do it manually.

    At least im hoping that's what it was. Otherwise ill get pissed off with the Garmin fairly rapidly if I have to do this all the time!

    where do you go to turn on the feature? I cant seem to find it?

    Also does this mean that when I upload a ride using my 810 via my phone it will appear on strava in a couple of minutes?

    When you go to sync your garmin on the strava website it should now give you an option to sync with garmin, and yes, it will update on strava when you use your 810 via your phone.

    I think you need to first update your Garmin Express to ver 3.2.16.0 (click settings / check for application updates)

    Out of interest, what are people still using their garmin accounts for?
    I used to create courses on garmin but only ever upload rides to strava.
    Now I can create courses on strava, my garmin account has become dormant.
    Why use both ?

    I logged in to GC today for the first time in years today to sync it to Strava. This new GC is looking very slick.
    Still don't think i'll use it though. I find manual upload to Strava to be the quickest and most reliable.

    Garmin site gives some different data and reports, can also compare rides.

    I find if you create a ride on the garmin site it's more stable on the edge 500. If I create one on the strava site there's regular times on the ride where the route will disappear for a few minutes on the screen, usually as you near a turn!

    Also handy to have rides backup, less necessary now with better cloud storage options

    Why not use both? A little redundancy never hurt anyone. I'm interested to see how Connect's segments develop too.

    If you've synced your phone to your garmin so it automatically uploads the the garmin connect site and sync the garmin site to your strava account, it works seamlessly

    I'm using https://tapiriik.com/ to automatically link Garmin, Strava and Endomondo accounts, for a few months now.

    This is deadly - thanks for the recommendation! Now everything talks to each other - Strava, Garmin, Myfitnesspal, Ridewithgps and Runkeeper. Between all that and Veloviewer I'll be lucky to get any work (or cycling) done...

    Although you're not helping my geeky data addiction at all. The first step is acknowledging that you have a problem isn't it?

    'cos I seem to be faster on Garmin - sad I know. :o:o

    But Strava is a cooler site and it links to Veloviewer which has some nice analytics - even sadder :o:o:o:o

    I've got my Garmin Connect account setup to automatically forward files to Strava and Training Peaks. So I just connect my Garmin Edge 500 to the PC and the Garmin Sync application uploads to Garmin Connect and within minutes, it is then replicated in the other sites.

    Only problem is I then go into Garmin Connect to type in the comments for a particular session and save it but it does not then send updates to Strava and Training Peaks so they don't include the comments. Not a major issue, but I use them each for different things at different times and if a syncing job is worth doing, it's worth doing right.

    Does https://tapiriik.com/ re-sync once comments are saved? If so, I'd turn off the syncing on the Garmin site and let https://tapiriik.com/ take care of all syncing.

    the syncing job is doing it job right, the upload is synced not your further edits

    yup, it's likely the gpx/tcx file that is sent which does not include the ability to store the comments.not really the fault of the sync if that is the case
