    I'm starting to see a pattern emerge (which may be pure coincidence) but when I upload the spin from my Edge 200 via Garmin Express on the work laptop running Windows, the location is accurate. When I upload a spin at home (also using Garmin Express) on my iMac, I get Kilkeel Cycling.

    When I uploaded my spin home from work today, I got 'Swords Cycling' for the first time which is correct so it looks like this is being resolved........slowly.

    I normally get Aberdaron in Wales as a start point. I'm down near Arklow so it's probably the closest point in the Uk to me.

    Is it possible to send a Workout from Garmin Connect on an Android Phone to an Edge 810?
    Thanks

    if you go you your profile in Garmin Connect, and choose 'settings' and then 'display preferences' you can select the Activity Names dropdown...
    - Untitled
    - Location and Type

    ...so if you choose the 'untitled' option, then every spin will be named the way we used to have it originally before they introduced the whole location-based naming feature.
    Only found it by chance myself - just thought I'd share it ;)

    So every spin will just be "Untitled" though.

    I'm not familiar with the 810, but this is what I do with my 310XT watch (if I'm allowed to have one on 410!) and my Nexus 5 phone...
    • I have an app called Ant2Net (available free, but I have the paid for version).
    • An OTG cable with my garmin Ant+ stick, which lets you plug in USB devices into the micro usb socket.
    • When you start off, the Ant2Net will tell you what other Ant+ apps you need to download (can't remember the sequence, whether it's with your Ant+ stick plugged in or before).
    • That'll let you download - first time takes ages as it downloads the complete history from the device.

    I find it works well for me. You can set it up to sync with Connect, Strava, get data emailed to you (that's the options I use). I think it'll send it to other software like Training Peaks, but I don't have them.

    The OTG cable was a couple of euro on ebay iirc. The paid version of Ant2Net wasn't much. I had read that if you upgrade later, you have to go through the initial download from scratch, so I just bit the bullet.

    It doesn't even try to place my activities though - as seems to be the case, that must be part of the Garmin Connect sync. I find it far handier than computer upload, but then I have ancient PC's at home!
