What is Gstart & Garmin Express Tray? and how do they relate to Express.

Former Member over 8 years ago

I have Gstart and Express tray auto start when I boot the computer.

I don't see any any sign of the Express tray on the task bar. But Gstart is in Hidden Icon's on the taskbar.

If I plug in a device without Express running I will get a message identifying the Garmin device as a drive and saying that there is a problem with the drive and to scan it. I assume that this is a Windows message.

Then I will get a Garmin pop-up that indicates the device has synced.

If all of this happens without Express running, what is Express for

They don't. If memory serves me right those options refer to the long defunct and no longer supported Garmin Training Centre.

Certainly GStart is a blast from the past. Express tray is program reflected by the Express icon in the system tray. That icon animates when syncing with Express.

99% of the time, I don't bother to open Express. The icon confirms for me that syncing is occurring.

Thanks, I see the Express tray icon now. I was confusing it with Polar sync.

And I closed Gstart and it is still works fine.
