Anyone else seeing crazy elevation graphs on Garmin Connect recently? Eg this is from the local 10k in Passage West that I ran on Fri which has a bit of a hill in the 2nd half. Pretty sure I'd have noticed all those 12000m vertical ascents & descents!



Looks to be affecting my old activities as well as someone posted a link to my Belfast Marathon activity from last year which showed a perfectly flat course apart from a challenging 12,000m climb at km 28

Garmin performing upgrades and hence elevations all over the place. See notice here.....

Upload your FIT file to Strava or equilavlent and they will be fine

Have you enabled elevation corrections?

Normally it's enabled, tonights 10k around Cork (Samsung night run) looks ok i.e. no 12,000m peaks so maybe they've sorted it out for new activities. My Belfast track from last year still shows a peaks 4000m higher than Everest mind you!

I had spikes yesterday (sunday) of up to 12,000 meters...

I've been having quite a bit of trouble uploading runs recently. I have a Forerunner 410XT - generally when I plug the ant device in, nothing happens - this seems to be happening more and more now. My solution was to start another run on the watch for a few seconds and then end it, this usually kicks the ant agent into noticing that new data is ready to upload - but not tonight! It's now uploaded the 2 new 5 second runs but not picked up the 10k I did 4 hours ago - it really is becoming a pain in the ass. Any workarounds or guidance on how to get this run uploaded would be appreciated.

My 220 has refused to work recently. Halfway during the Ray D'arcy HM, and on my 2 subsequent 6 / 8 milers since then, it doesn't log mileage at all. It "connects" before I set off but that's it.

Anyone got any tips? Should I update software?

if not already done, update firmware to 2.6 and GPS to 3.10. If thats already done, then do a hard reset. Seems to resolve most issues. If issues persist then open ticket with Garmin and they may suggest other things to do or will send you an RMA to get it replaced

Im having spikes too. And I cant upload my run from yesterday. Some strange things happening with Garmin the past few days. Lots of issues on their forum.

My latest run from the Garmin 610 has failed to upload to Garmin connect. The Data transfer status from the ant device just said failed. This is the 4th time this has happened in 6 months.

I can locate the run by going to Upload - Upload New activities. When I try to upload it the status goes to uploading but never finishes.

I have reset the device by holding the 3 buttons and then re-entering my profile. The run is still there but wont load.

The run has uploaded to Strava without any issues but I still would like it on Garmin connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Garmin have sorted the issue of runs not uploading over the past week. It seems to have started around the 21st/22nd. It was on the garmin forum the past few days. They took the site offline for a few hours last night and sorted it. My 'problem' run uploaded straight away when they came back up.

Still wont load. I can see it under Upload - Upload selected activities but it just keeps trying to load.

Just noticed this evening, is anyone's Garmin uploading their runs showing an hour earlier - my 18:09 run this evening shows as starting at 17:09?

Colostomy Bag

yep. Same here, runs from Thursday and Saturday showing as an hour earlier than actual time.

Colostomy Bag

I've noticed recently that on some activities, when I go to compare them, all the laps are showing as blanks under the headings Time/Distance/Avg Pace. However, the splits do show when going into the run itself, just not on the compare page - has anyone else noticed this?

Just checked there & it looks ok for me, maybe there's a timezone setting somewhere?

I consider myself fairly tech savvy, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to download a workout made on connect to my 910. It keeps asking me to use garminexpress, but the only options I can see in there is to update the firmware or sync activities.
Oh and the update doesn't work either.
I'm considering getting rid and going back to something that connects via USB. In my experience, Garmin haven't really got the hang of the whole wireless thing.

I just did it there, without any issues. What browser are you using? After you click [Send to Device] you should get a browser pop-up window asking you if you want to launch an external application (Garmin Express). If you click [Launch Application], it should launch Garmin Express, and under the Synch heading, it should list '1 Item to synch', which should then synch. It may be that you have a queue of items to synch and one of them has become corrupted?

PaulieC

Using ie11. I get a 'start using Garmin express' dialog which keeps launching a new browser window to install the program, even though it's already installed. I'll try it on my laptop and using a different browser (using dell tab atm)

PaulieC

Eventually got it to work after un-pairing the device and re-pairing it. Not a user-friendly workflow and the garmin help content is woeful.

Watch is showing the correct time of day and connect has a GMT setting, but no BST setting!

A quick question.

Is the 620 worth the extra money over the 220? I can't seem to find a decent comparison anywhere?

This is what I've got in there & having just checked my run this evening the time is right.



I spotted a GMT setting as well as the above so maybe you've that one selected

Will try WET and see what happens this evening

Is there any way to edit your run if you forgot to stop your watch at the end of a run?

Cheers

martyboy48

On the forerunner 305 at least, you could go to history and go to your workout. View laps and just select the last lap and delete it. Probably the easiest way. I've made that mistake before thinking i've stopped it

But can you edit to the actual correct time and distance of a race?

I can understand why Garmin don't allow it.

You can download the activity and edit it in an XML editor (or Garmin Training Centre) and just delete a lap. Usually I just go into the activity and correct the data. My problem is that I keep stopping the watch at traffic lights and forget to re-start it.
