Please can anyone tell me why I have to install Garmin Express EVERY time I try to sync my device. I have recently bought a Forerunner 10 and downloaded Garmin Express by saving, running it and then adding my device. If I go into Garmin Express it shows my device. For some reason when I go into Garmin Connect and attach my device it says I need to install Garmin Express. When I go through reinstalling it again at the final stage it says it is already installed. It then syncs my Forerunner and adds my run to my activities. The next time I go for a run and try to sync again I have to start the whole process again( it's happened 3 times this week). Does anyone know how to stop this happening? I want to be able to go into Garmin Connect, attach my device via the USB and it upload automatically as their tutorial says it should! Any help appreciated.
I am sorry for the troubles. I do not understand your process. This sentence is confusing, "For some reason when I go into Garmin Connect and attach my device it says I need to install Garmin Express." At this point, Express is already installed and the Forerunner is already added and associated with your Connect account. There should be be no need to attach your device to Connect. What webpage or URL are you referring to as "it" in the sentence?
To sync the Forerunner 10 you should simply connect the watch to the computer then open Garmin Express. It should automatically Sync with Garmin Connect. Are you getting any messages from Garmin Express that indicates there was a problem with the Sync?
Try simply logging into your Connect Modern account by going to https://connect.garmin.com in a web browser. I logged in on the administrators side and the device is there along with an activity from today.
This sounds like a misunderstanding of the process but please elaborate on the steps you take if you continue to have troubles or any other questions. Again, I am sorry for the troubles.
