The same issue applies to me for so many weeks, without any solution. Tried suggestion as mentioned before through the change of language in app, not resolved though. Kindly ask from Garmin representative to add me to the notification/email when issue resolved.

Mine too… I reset my 1040 three times and tried reinstalling Connect twice. No luck but I’m glad to see it looks like it not just me.
