I have downloaded Garmin Express and a installed it on my laptop (windows 7 home premium) the icon is on my desktop but when i attempt to open the logo appears then i get a message Garmin Express can't open Internet connection is being blocked . Try disabling you fire wall and proxy settings and open garmin express again. I have tried this turning of windows fire wall as well a my anti virus soft ware, even tried uninstalling the AV but still get the same message
its taken me 2 months to find how to make this new update work.... very poor support from Garmin, Mikes solution worked like a charm :) Maybe Garmin should advertise this solution as im sure there must be others with the same problem. Thank you Mike
Mine worked fine for 2 months. Since last week, I started to have the same problem: I could'n connect, same message about network/firewall etc issues. Disabling antivirus (AVG) and Windows firewall didn't work and at the end I found the solution in https://support.garmin.com/support/s...00000000000%7D. It is just another stupid bug. Never had problems with the ant+ and my old forerunner 405 and I'm starting to regret the choice of my 620 instead of going to Suunto.
