It's SO EASY. Just admit you made a mistake. Bring back the sync button.

Developers,

Device is complex, circumstances are manifold. Impossible to anticipate all contingencies.

Manual sync is solution.

40 years experience, software development.

Listen.

    This needs to be made across all Garmin Express products including the mobile ones.
  • They need to go back the drawing board for GE - just look at all the threads on syncing issues.
  • I think that if syncing were as reliable as it should be, people wouldn't be asking for the sync button back.

    However, Garmin says that in order to sync all you have to do is connect the device and it will sync automatically. Effectively, connecting the device is like pushing the sync button so it's not like it's completely gone. That being said, my vivosmart, vivofit, and forerunner 305 sync perfectly with Express.

    I had issues upgrading maps on my GPS so a sync button would have been convenient that time. Instead, I had to disconnect and reconnect the GPS until it finally finished without erroring out.

    So I have had this Garmin Vivosmart without ever successfully syncing it. What is the deal?
  • Romnster,

    You'll need to provide some details. How are you trying to sync? Just with Express? With a smartphone? Android or iOS? What happens when you try to sync?

    Agreed completely. I'm sick of waiting around waiting for it to realise my device is in range.

    Completely arrogant development team, obviously think their own opinions are more important than user testing.

    No reply from Garmin as to why they still think they are correct.

    Anyone who agrees with this gent's post, please post a reply to bump the thread.
