Garmin Connect activity not auto-posting to Strava

Former Member over 9 years ago

I've connected my accounts (validated in the settings in both accounts) and yet the activity I posted since connecting them has not synced from Garmin Connect to Strava. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the accounts to see if that was the issue, even deleting the activity and reposting after reconnecting the accounts. Still hasn't posted to my Strava.

The reason why I'd like to post to Strava this way, aside from the convenience, is that Strava always under-reports my power data when compared to that shown on my Garmin Edge 500 and the activity on Garmin Connect.

Under reports how? You mean the "Weighted average power" on Strava is less than the "Normalized Power" on GC? Sure is, they use different algorithms. The "average power" and "max power" should be the same if you sent the same file to both.

But it doesn't work the way you think it does even if your connection works. Garmin Connect and Strava will get exactly the same file from your device at almost the same time. There are times that the file will go to Strava even if Garmin Connect is down at the moment. Any edits that you make on Garmin Connect or numbers that Garmin Connect computes do not go to Strava.
