garmin courses (transfer error)

Former Member over 8 years ago

When trying to transfer an activity to my device I get the error: garmin courses (transfer error)

I'm getting this error message when trying to transfer any of my courses to either of my Garmin Edge devices (820 and 1000). I have also rebooted my computer, devices and re-installed Garmin Express, but the problem persists.

Is anyone else having this problem? I wonder if it is a problem at Garmin's end.

ps. I found that if I save the activity as a course and then tried to send it to device it worked, but sending it to device as an activity without saving as course first did not.

You found the Garmin way of doing to - save an activity as a course, then send the course.

Other aspects of getting courses to your device, together with a plethora of solutions have been discussed many times in countless threads as you will find if you either look through the threads or do a search.

Thank you philipshambrook.

However in the past I've always been able to transfer an activity direct to the device without having to save it as a Course first. So I was curious as to why there would be a sudden change in the software's behaviour. As such I thought it perhaps a temporary glitch or bug in the system and therefore previous posts on the subject would not have been relevant to finding out if other users were experiencing this now.
