Cannot download to my 310XT

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,
I have some problems on my 310XT for a few weeks. I'm still able to upload my activities on Garmin Connect (through Garmin Express). Unfortunately, the reverse path does not work (from the PC to my 310XT): in fact, Garmin Express fails at each synchronization attempt....

Any idea ?
It seems more a software problem rather than an issue related to my watch.

(already tried the hard reset)

Are you trying to send a course to your 310XT?

Yes :(

What is the process you're using?
Some ways that are pretty much error proof, mainly using an existing Garmin Connect activity and saving as a course. Then send to device.
Another way is to save a route in a 3rd party app, such as plotaroute.

Create the route on the plotaroute site
Download as GPX
In GC import file
Save as course
Send to device
Once successful delete the "fake" activity from GC

I was a bit wrong in my explanation.

Usually, what I did:
- Creating my route on openrunner.com (similar to plotaroute)
- Downloading the GPX.
- Uploading to GC (it creates an activity)
- Downloading directly to my 310XT.

As you suggested, this fake activity has now to be make saved as a course. Final step: downloading the course.

And now it works... I don't know why but everything is fine. Thanks for your quick reply!
