Im not meaning to teach people to suck eggs. But this may help some new Garmin users.
I use Plotaroute with my Garmin Touring as I find it to be an excellent route planner. Usually I plot distances of about 50km and the Garmin never lets me down.
Recently, I plotted a route of 170km in one go...
I am very tempted to get a 520 but would like to know how clear/what size the figures are in the readouts for such things as speed, cadence, heart rate etc, as my eyesight is not as good as it used to be. Although I don't need to wear my glasses for cycling I do tend to need them for reading. I...
One for the geeks this, so apologies if the following sounds like wibble. Long post short, is anyone else playing around developing Connect IQ Apps?
The long read.....
A couple of months ago Garmin opened up an API on their 'wearables', which included the Edges 1000 and 520. Garmin Express now...
I have been using a mobile for tracking my rides for about 3 years. It's got good points and bad points. I'm thinking of either moving to a paid app or to a Garmin.
I have a Wahoo RFLKT, so if I move to a paid app, it should support that.
I am mostly happy with what the Wahoo app provides, but...
Today, according to my Garmin 200, I cycled 36 miles with 2300 ft of elevation.
According to my brother's phone with strava on it, we cycled 36 miles with about 1790 ft of elevation.
What one is the right one?
Hi
I recently bought a second hand Garmin Edge 705 which has been great up until now although it did something a bit weird today on a ride.
I mapped a 20 mile route that I know very well using Mapmyride. I used this rather than Garmin connect because I wanted to upload the route as a gpx file...
Hi Folks,
I have a 3 year old Garmin Touring which I haven't used since last September. Today I tried to turn it on, but it seemed dead so I charged it back up to 100% [I could see this charge gauge on the screen, so the screen must be working]. However, even with 100% and the software/maps...
Can you do it ?
Weather and sniffles permitting im planning on doing a sportive at the weekend and im not sure if you can record your ride whilst following a course .
Of course the saddle sore i picked up last weekend is not helping my legs get in the mood to ride .
Hi
I've just bought a second hand Garmin Edge 705 which is great but there's a couple of fields that I'd like to display whilst on a ride that I can't find.
Can someone please tell me if it is possible to have a current average speed field whilst on a ride? My cheap Cateye computer has this...
Hi Guys
I cycled a route the other day and its one I am going to do again, this was a route that I didn't plan I just went out and cycled.
As I am planning on doing the exact same route I am wanting to race against my previous time using the split screen option on the garmin 800.
I am...
Hi there, I don't know anything about Garmins other than they are the dogs nuts.
I would like to try and get a GPS unit with Turn bu Turn navigation.
I guess in Garmin terms, that takes me into the £300 plus bracket.
Are there any older Garmin units that do turn by turn nav, that I might find...
Just bought one of these as I intend to up my mileage so my wife was keen that I had something with mapping on it in case of accident.
Tried using the Live tracking option tonight but to no avail so trying to work out why so here is what we did.
1) I sent an email notification which my wife...
Looking for an upgrade on my Edge 200 and believe the 510 or 520 would fit that. If anyone is selling, I'd like to check out your listing or PM if you haven't got one online.
Today after 100k or so and a coffeestop the speed and distance functions seemed to double up. I have tried off/on to escape what might be a loop and have stopped an activity and started a new activity but still the same results. So, I guess a reversion to factory defaults is required. Advice...
My garmin 1000 upgraded itself to version 8 last week and I noticed I started to get a message "fair" a few minutes into the ride and at the end messages telling me how long to recover before doing any efforts. I went onto garmin site and not much info but found some on a runners forum and...
Does anyone else have problems at the moment uploading their rides wirelessly (via BT or WiFi) to Garmin Connect from their Edge device?
I've just updated the software to version 8.00 in my Edge 1000 and I'm currently having to connect the device to the computer and synch via USB in order to...
I've got an Edge 810 and have made use of the Live Track facility a couple of times, but it's refused to work how it used to for the last week or so - anyone I send a link to gets a message saying it's unavailable.
Normally I've follow this routine:
Phone on with bluetooth enabled.
Garmin on -...
I I am selling my Garmin Edge 305 with charger, red outfront mount and converter to use with quarter turn mounts for £30 plus £3 postage.
It is a bit scruffy after I took it apart to replace the battery with a new one. There is some glue on the screen but doesn't effect the functionality. The...
Hi guys/gals
Looking for some advice on how to make sure I log milage to the correct bike in Strava as I've just bought another.
I've setup a different different bike both on my Garmin and Strava.
Ideally I'd just like to know what I need to do to get my Garmin to log things correctly as I...
I've had it for around a year as I wanted something purely for navigation. Not getting on too well with it:
About 1/4 rides it crashes (have updated firmware and no better - seems common issue)
Has a fit every time I go off course (forced or by choice). I've tried switching off auto-reroute...
Sorry but Im not a technophobe and so this may seem a dumb question.
If I change the 8GB SD card in my Garmin Touring to a 16GB card will this allow me to plot more routes on the PC and download them into the Garmin all at once.
I am planning a several day, unsupported, wild camping trip and...
This year, I'm increasingly trying to cycle further afield and so would like to upgrade my GPS systems (currently have an Edge 500) to get me to the position where I can follow maps.
I think I have two options (I like my data!!);
1) Buy a Garmin 810 to do both functions.
Pro; one bit of kit...
Fancying the look of the Garmin Touring.
I'm liking the idea of having a sat nav mounted to the bike to give directions in places not well known to me.
Can you download your ride stats etc to Garmin Connect or even Strava with this device? I always like to see how I've done after my rides to...
Had a glitch on my Garmin yesterday.......wouldn't power up for hours despite being on full charge. Eventually came back to life, but when I done a 5 mile commute today and downloaded through Garmin Express, all my rides between July 2015 and today, had disappeared from the Connect Activities...
I have a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx in excellent condition. It comes in original box with connecting lead, disc and instruction manual. I do not use it any longer but have had it working this morning and it Works as it should.
I would like to swap it for an unlocked android Smart phone, which must...
