Activities folder missing on W7

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi all.

Today I have use a new GPS watch, the Forerunner 220 which I have bought to replace my old Forerunner 410. I've always like the way you can upload workouts to other third party apps, like Endomondo, where you only need to use the Communicator Plugin.

Now, with the Forerunner 210 I can't use the Communicator Plugin, so I need to upload the activities manually. As I can see in the FAQ's, the activities uploaded from Xpress are located here:

C:\ProgramData1\Garmin\CoreService\GarminConnect\Device-UnitID\FIT_TYPE_4

But i don't have the ''CoreService'' folder in my computer.
If Forerunner 210 is not compatible with the Communicator Plugin, and I can't find the folder on my PC, where are my activities being stored on my PC?

Thanks!

The CoreService folder will not be created on the computer until Garmin Express is installed. Have you installed that application? If not, it can be downloaded from here.

However, both the Forerunner 210 and 220 devices are mass-storage devices. When connected to a computer, they will appear as a hard drive. Because of this, the activity files will not be stored on the computer, they typically remain on the device after uploading to Garmin Connect. If you have activities on your new device, you can upload them by locating the files on the device. Instructions to locate the files and upload are in this FAQ: How do I manually upload data from USB Mass Storage devices to Garmin Connect?

Also, both the Forerunner 210 and 220 devices are still compatible with Garmin Communicator Plugin. I just connected both devices to my PC and both were detected on the Communicator Plugin page.
