Garmin 800 help

[Sillysimon10]

Hey guys!

Finally got my garmin 800 and fitted it no problem.

Just done a 20 mile stint on the turbo (due to the snow!)
Now want to upload the workout to see my average speeds/heart rate/cadence throughout it. But coming up trumps on getting it uploaded to my computer!

Any help would be grand!
Tar mych!

Yeah, all registered the other night, was planning on taking it outside for the first time and taking full advantage of a day off work, but with the snow, it was a no go!

Not sure why it wont work then mate, I just plug it into USB port and click upload on top right of connect homepage and it uploads perfectly.

maybe if your on the turbo there is no GPS signal and therefore nothing recorded ? just a guess like I'm not sure on that as I have never used mine on turbo, but might be worth checking

They work fine on a turbo even comes up as indoor trainer.

Looking at the stats, it works really well on the turbo. Just turn off the gps and you're away!! Only down side is the heart rate didnt kick in untill I started to sweat....I huess I have to wet the pads next time shortly before starting off, as my heart rate seems to spike!! ha

Did you end and save the session before trying to upload it to the Garmin Connect?

OT, GC Spikes a fair bit for me yet Strava seems to smooth it out; on the rollers the other night GC had me spiking at over 50mph a few times whereas Strava had me maxing at a more realistic 33mph
