Garmin Connect

triggermortis · 21-12-2014 9:36am #1

Anyone having problems with Garmin Connect? Last night I plugged my Edge in and Garmin won't let me upload. Strava works fine, but the Garmin site stalls at the upload page - it doesn't see any of my edge data.
Laptop is a macbook running OSX 10.6.8

godtabh · 21-12-2014 10:44am

Used it this morning with no issues

andy69 · 21-12-2014 11:48am

I'm on MacOS as well, and it was uploading fine....but....(BTW, sorry it's a bit OT, but....)
instead of my latest spin getting the default 'untitled' name, it now automatically names the spins as 'crossmaglen cycling'.
Same happened my wife's Garmin yesterday also.

Not living near an area called Crossmaglen - just wondering if other people are still getting 'untitled' as their spin name after upload? Was thinking maybe its a new feature like the way Strava names your spin according to the area you started it in.

Actually I got this morning as well on a Mac. It was called Kilkeel Cycling

I've also been getting "Crossmaglen Run" on anything I've uploaded since yesterday by default (where it used to just give the default name of "Untitled").
The runs were all in West Dublin

Blue Steel · 21-12-2014 2:23pm

+ no maps nor charts in the detailed view since yesterday

Eamonnator · 21-12-2014 2:23pm

Ive just uploaded a couple of spins. They show as "Warrenpoint Cycling", instead of "untitled"
The same thing happened on Friday.
I haven't been near Warrenpoint.
I'm using a MacBook.
I should also add, that my Garmin seems to upload automatically now, without me having to click on "upload"

SNAP! Same happening here...instead of "untitled", mine are named "Kilkeel Cycling"....bizarre! Anyone know what's go on?

ah! there seems to have been new functionality added - guess it's not quite right yet for whatever mapping formula they use for Ireland

+1 here, uload rom Linux, get "crossmaglen cycling" , which ain't exactly near where I am!

Judging by the various names here, I'd guess it doesn't have ROI information and is picking the nearest location it has in Norn Iron

Same here. My last two spins threw up the Kilkeel Cycling thing. I just renamed it.

wowy · 21-12-2014 4:48pm

Just got Kilkeel Cycling there too.

Same.

Just uploaded my last ride from last week before I got ebola from one of my nieces/nephews, post "christening do"

I notice that Garmin now has a "Gear" tab, for adding bikes etc.

Don't recall seeing that before.

Macy0161 · 21-12-2014 8:50pm

I got that kilkeel thing, on my watch (for a walk) last week. Didn't happen with today's or yesterday's cycles though.

Also, it hasn't been syncing with my fitness pal the last few days.

added during the week. not great as very difficult to add anything historic, unless you have only 1 bike and add everything to it

Jnealon · 22-12-2014 3:41pm

My last two runs came up as Crossmaglen Running on Garmin but show as untitled on Strava. I use garminsync to upload from Garmin to strava and am using a Garmin 610.

oconnpad · 23-12-2014 5:38pm

Mine stopped working as well, but i use to always use the old dashboard to upload.
I can upload using the garmin express and the new dashboard

I just assumed it was Garmin who disabled your ability to upload via the old dashboard

Blue Steel · 23-12-2014 5:56pm

Confirmed. They want you to move to the new dashboard.

I preferred the old view.

oconnpad · 23-12-2014 6:01pm

Shame alright, have to say i'm the same i perferred the old one.

Unknown Soldier · 23-12-2014 9:18pm

They seem to have made a lot of changes behind the scenes and with the GUI.

There are now eight types of "cycling" you can "flag" a ride E.G. Cyclocross is now an option. (There's a sh1t load for others such as swimming etc)

In the Modern view pull up a ride and in the top left the "Cycling" has a drop down menu. You can see the new options there

Also in the modern view, click on "Activities" menu on the LH "bar" so that you can see the "list" view and on the far right at the top there is an "import" option. That's the new manual upload.

Assimilation is inevitable.

lukegjpotter · 25-12-2014 11:33pm

Garmin Express doesn't work right in my Mac either. Using Yosemite as the OS.
The Web Uploader isn't working either. I gotta upload the files manually.
If you're using the Bluetooth Connection and the Auto-Upload it doesn't cross post to Strava, like you'd expect it to.
Garmin will be the BetaMax of the cycling industry in a few years.

Sync to strava works fine here no matter what the upload mechanism including Bluetooth

And pretty ridiculous comment given their dominance in cycling circles. And even more so when you consider cycling only a small part of their offering. Who is even offering realistic competition?

TommyGrealy · 06-01-2015 3:04pm

Still happening - Garmin don't believe in fixing problems in my experience, so this one will be around for a while

Welshkev · 06-01-2015 3:37pm

They had something up on their Twitter feed today about yet more uploading issues - I've had loads of issues recently.
Apparently they've released updates today of the apps (Garmin Syn / Web Uploader or something) which is supposed to fix it, so try updating these.
On a related issue, I've had loads of problems getting Connect on my iPhone to sync / pickup via Bluetooth my Edge 810. I'm kind of hoping the issues are related and will be fixed asap.

They are trying to do the same as strava and put a location automatically in the activity name, but looks like they only have UK/NI mapped so it's picking a recognised spot which is Crossmaglen

NeedMoreGears · 06-01-2015 5:43pm

My experience of the new Garmin interface hasn't been great.

Garmin Express

GE only syncs when it is in the humour, which is not all that often.

There seems to be a certificate problem with one its components, which results in windows bugging me for permissions before it will even open properly.

It tries to force feed me some time zone update, despite a few supposedly sucessful attempts to install it.

On those limited occasions it does sync and I check the web.....

Half the time I get an error screen with some gibberish about some other gibberish

The other half I reach a fairly messy screen which has all sorts of stuff I don't really need. Mostly I just want to have a look over my spin.

Apart from that I love it (cos it's free!)

Wondered same, all my runs since late Dec are "Crossmaglen Running". What a mess! Wonder are they planning to fix this?

MugMugs · 14-01-2015 11:14am

Living quite near to those areas I thought it was just me. Odd.

Similar thing happening to me - all my cycles show up as "Kilkeel Cycling". Have just given up changing the names each time.

Leroy42 · 14-01-2015 11:25am

Sync was not working last night for me, so forced to do some manual work and upload the rides myself. That is 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Damn you to hell Garmin Connect.

Not only did I have to log onto Strava and upload the ride, I then had to log onto TP and do the same. Of course I don't pay for either Strava or TP so the actual usefulness of the data is limited.

Luckily, the important part of Garmin, the computer unit itself, works brilliant and does everything it says it can.

Talk about 1st world problems!

PauloMN · 14-01-2015 11:35am

Any of you using Mapmyrun/Mapmycycle etc.? Have you had problems syncing in activities since 1st Jan? I have a number of runs for Jan in Garmin Connect that won't appear in Mymyrun.

triggermortis · 14-01-2015 2:16pm

Mine seems to be working ok now - the auto ride naming thing seems to work in Zurich! Only issue I have now is to update my os so I can use Garmin express to get more features out of my virb (which now records properly now I've set it to PAL!)

Alek · 14-01-2015 2:17pm

I've set it to PAL!

But you're getting only 25/50 fps instead of 30/60...

Oops, no me too old.

Just read back up and saw mention of Virb, which I assume is one of those camera things the youngsters have today

I though you were referring to this

Name Changed · 27-02-2015 12:18am

I'm still getting Crossmaglen. Anyway to prevent this??

Eamonnator · 27-02-2015 12:31am

Im still in Warrenpoint.

crosstownk · 27-02-2015 1:19am

I've been getting 'Kilkeel Cycling' since all this started. I just edit the name, it's the easiest way to deal with it until Garmin eventually sort it out.

Editing only takes a few seconds. Thankfully, the Kilkeel thing doesn't transfer to Strava.

Other than actually cycling around kilkeel , then no.

When you have 10x as many posts as you currently have

I get both Crossmaglen and Kilkeel on mine, the former when I leave from home (Dublin 15) and the latter when I leave from work (Dublin 2).
