garmin 810 & strava

[Rob3rt]

Please read the posts?

The 810 does NOT upload to Strava

It uploads to a 3rd party which then uploads to Strava

Hence your statement that the statement that the 810 does not upload toStrava is factually incorrect is in fact factually incorrect

Ps. You never need to connect the 810 to a Computer!

Download by Bluetooth to a Smartphone and it will update to Garmin. Connect. These files can then be accessed and transferred (as above)

I have yet to link my 810 to any of my computers

WTF are you on about?

If I connect the device to a pc, then go to Strava, click upload, it will search my device for activities and upload them, i.e. the data goes from the 810 to Strava without the use of any additional websites and/or software, from a user perspective this is a direct upload.

The 810 will NOT however, send the data wirelessly directly to Strava.

This is very simple!

Quite frankly, I am a little bewildered as to what you are even debating. Also good for you re not connecting your 810 to your computers, does this mean you are still running the orginal, worse than current firmware or did you waste a load of time that could have been better spent cycling finding out how to do this wirelessly like a wizard too!

It does, you connect the 810 to your PC then log in to Strava, click upload, finds your device, upload all new activities, tick.

Still via a third party though!

.. and exactly what I said on page1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The present software is fine until the system settles down. The V2.3 unfortunately has bugs that need ironing out including signal loss and corruption of files. Once these issues are resolved then I will update

As for wasting time - you can't ride very far in 90 seconds as that is all it takes to set up Bluetooth with a Smartphone

Yes it works just the same as my old 800 to strava
Just need to build the fitness up now after my year of injuries and ops to justify all the new goodies

And which 3rd party is this? One which the user does not see not have to interact with? Yup, i.e. from a user perspective, it is a direct upload, regardless of the website back end.

If you are going to play the "I got the answer 1st" card, let's just recap, that is what you said on page 2 (on my forum settings), weeks after the OP had got to the bottom of the misunderstanding, with a little bit of input from yours truly and a few others who arrived on time!

Your last garble is not relevant to the comment I made (which was rhetorical btw, incase you didn't gather).

Finally, thanks for being 2 weeks late to the party dressed as "he who knows all" when the theme was farmyard animals!

Party 1 = Edge 810
Party 2 = Strava

When I went to school the next thing would be the third?

Computer = Party 3

Gosh! Trying really hard.......... but not getting results that reflect the effort!​

Ironic really!

Okay, I'll bite.

You know this school you went to, when they taught you how to count, did they also teach you the difference between people and objects?

How much cycling time have you two wasted debating this?

None* Rest day............ spent the evening repeatedly uploading my weekends racing data directly to Strava just because I can!

*You got me!

Unless you consider the Edge 810, the Computer, or the Strava Website to be "people", I can't see the point of your question?

I would be interested as to which one of the three listed do you think should be classified as "people"

If I told you how much I hate mine would it help?

whats wrong with it?

edit - just read the rest of the thread

I have a 800 and love it, really liked the advert for the 810 but dont think its worth the upgrade for me, i use endomondo so no real advantage to being able to upload wirelessly if only to my garmin account. Also never really got the need to use one at all if your using a smartphone anyway, not for the amount of riding id do
the interface looks a bit better and i see there are more bike profiles but i only reallu use time and distance, then the map if im a little lost so the 800 does everything i need it to

enjoy the 810 i look forward to reading more posts about it

Using your logic, the bluetooth connection between your device and your phone to get a connection to the internet to connect to garmin services is a third party.
