Problems uploading from Garmin Edge 800

2 watchers

Pale Skinny Vegan May 2012 6:50pm, 20 May 2012 314 posts	0 Pale Skinny Vegan I've got a new Garmin Edge 800 and can't upload from it. If I try to import from Garmin, I get the "Trying to find your Garmin" message for a few seconds, then "Found 2 devices, please choose your Garmin..." with a drop down box with "Edge 800" and a number followed b (F:\) as the two options. Whichever option I select, nothing happens. When I plug the Garmin in to the PC via it's USB cable, it shows up as two separate remote drives, E: & F:, I think the PC is reading the unit it's self and the internal memory card as separate items. I can't upload today's ride as a GPX or TCX file either, as it was a bit of an epic and is over the 3Kb limit. Any ideas on how to get round this ?

Pale Skinny Vegan May 2012 7:04pm, 20 May 2012 315 posts	0 Pale Skinny Vegan Thanks, I just found that. I had a look at the FAQ and it mentions "Newer Garmins" so I guessed that would include my 800. Like you say, it treats the Garmin as a remote drive and the .fit files are under activities on E:
ReplicaSportsman Oct 2012 11:51am, 24 Oct 2012 First-time poster!!	0 ReplicaSportsman I know this is an older thread, but does anyone know if their are plans to add the Edge 800 to the Garmin import functionality? It allows you to use the Garmin Communicator plugin on the garmin connect site wihtout having to faff arround with individual files. It's a bit of a pain when you need to upload multiple activities in one go... C
