How do I use Garmin Connect?

Fizz :-) Jun 2016 1:44pm, 7 Jun 2016 1691 posts	0 Fizz :-) I just use Garmin Connect / Express as the conduit to get the data into Fetch, my new PC wouldn't let me download the communicator plug-in. Could I skip the Connect bit then, as I never look at it?
sallykate Jun 2016 2:08pm, 7 Jun 2016 4322 posts	0 sallykate Makes sense - I sometimes edit in Connect if it's a row and I want to record the distance (when using Garmin as just a HRM) but otherwise I never look at it.
CharlieP Jun 2016 4:00pm, 7 Jun 2016 156 posts	0 CharlieP I have a Forerunner 610 that uploads its data to my PC via an ANT stick when it's close enough - I simply click on Add Training, then FIT, then choose the relevant file from my computer. With other Garmin devices, you probably need to use the Garmin Communicator plugin.

chunkywizard Jun 2016 10:35pm, 7 Jun 2016 2905 posts	0 chunkywizard Garmin Connect is just the website to display your activities (just like ~~strava~~ and Fetch). To get info into Garmin Connect you can use Garmin Express (PC/Mac application) or, on devices that have Bluetooth, you can use Garmin Connect Mobile (the phone app) to upload your activities automagically. If you don't like GC then BLE to GCM then auto sync to Fetch - job done!
