Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Seems it not just me then, must be this new Garmin Express thingy. Why can't they just leave things ALONE!

Glad I haven't "upgraded" to modern view and express then! I did have a corrupted FIT file the other day and managed to repair it using this tool: garmin.kiesewetter.nl , maybe worth a try if you having trouble uploading from FIT.

I tried modern view for a while but none of the boxes actually had anything in them, I've gone back to classic.

I'm with Molesey - plus the new interface doesn't seem to like talking to my Garmins, which is just plain weird.

Things didn't go as smoothly as normal just now. But then I couldn't connect to Garmin Connect either :-O
I downloaded the plugin again, restarted the computer and . . . . . it worked. Yay. Go me :-)

Uploading all my runs manually from the computer ever since upgrading to garmin express which also conincided with me getting a new 310xt. Wasn't sure if it was the garmin or the garmin express but having seen this thread I'm thinking its more likely to be the upgrade

I've just been looking at the Garmin Communicator API, and they've updated a few files since I last downloaded a copy. I've updated those now, so that might help a few of you out. I don't know whether they've integrated it properly with Express though. That's my next investigation.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Just a little note to say thanks for all the comments here and via feedback. The test phase was useful for knocking off a lot of bugs, but there's nothing like the thrill of putting something live to really get that usability feedback flowing :-)

Here's the TO DO list following feedback from users:

1) Solution for only showing runs since last update - DONE
2) Links on successful import to allow direct route to edit/view - DONE
3) Avoid reloading data on choosing different time view.
4) Stop people pressing the button more than once - DONE
5) Auto detect sport where available.
6) Fix rogue pace zones (reported by Duchess, MacApple et al)
7) Max speed (for Mick173)
8) Smoother import of elevation data.
