Best way to get GPSMAP 64S into garmin connect

Former Member over 8 years ago

Guys,

I have a GPSMAP 64S for hiking and want to track my logs in order to get them into Garmin connect (and strava/runkeeper, that's no issue, I sync using tapiirik).

I cannot figure out how this unit is logging tracks. My trouble is that when I stop my activity and I'm near my PC, I upload and all is fine. However If I do multiple activities without uploading first, the unit "collates" them together as one big activity.

I know I can save activities, and delete tracklog... but is this saved activity usable for Garmin Connect, eg. are timestamps saved as well ? Or is it just track information ? And if so ... what is the best strategy in combination with this unit ?

Thanks

Try reading through this to see if it answers your queries https://connect.garmin.com/en-US/help/how-to/

Personally for hiking routes I find BaseCamp far better than Connect.

Thanks ... I think I got the solution :

Beginning of hike :
- Delete the current tracklog
- hike !
- Save the current tracklog in the trackmanager
- repeat at next activity

You need to manually upload the GPX file to Garmin Connect.

Must admit, for non-tech savvy people this might be a bridge too far. For me : no big deal.
