Garmin Connect App not saving courses

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, I searched the forum, but can't find an answer. If i download a gpx on my Android device and open it with the Garmin Connect app, the course shows, but I can't save it within the Garmin Connect App. Also, if i create a course in the Connect App, i can't save it. If i press "done" it says" "Oops, Looks like there was a problem saving this course, please try again." I can't find any solution, other than to use the web-version of Garmin Connect, but that's not ideal on a small smartphone screen.

Same issue consistently. This is unacceptable and embarrassing

Still an occasional problem for me—that solution (close Connect app, reopen Connect app, export from other app) worked for me, thanks.
