At the weekend it froze again on 7 miles. Again a full reset followed by a factory restore. Today it will not load the activity saying it does not have any history even though shows in the weekly totals. Has anyne else had issues like this and what was the outcome. I have emailed garmin support but am tempted to launch it into orbit. So frustrating!

But agree that they are useless by email. Havent tried contacting them by phone myself though. But they were useless at helping sort out a problem with an Edge 500. It corrupts data on some activities and the file shows that it was modified at the time it gets connected to the PC. They wanted error codes which were non existent. All i got was an "unable to sync device" message popping up for a second or so. Deleting older stuff regularly has helped the problem happen less often, but it does still happen

Autumnleaves May 2016 5:24pm, 7 May 2016 8,534 posts	0 Autumnleaves Different problem - between Wednesday evening and today my lap top does not want to talk to the Garmin - I can't upload the FIT files on here as I keep getting a Windows message about formatting the disk and then it tells me the Activity folder isn't accessible. I have tried re-installing Garmin Express but that hasn't helped. Any ideas anyone?
