Export a "saved course" from Edge 1030+ to cellphone. Bug?

Roberto Ena
over 4 years ago

Hi,

I created some courses on my Garmin Edge 1030+. Also I have some courses imported from other IQ apps.

After sync with my Android app "Garmin Connect", these courses are not visible under "My courses".

If I go to the Garmin Connect Web page, still I can't see any course.

However, I am still able to see the courses if I connect the Edge 1030+ with a cable to my Mac, and I open BaseCamp.

In this case, after I edit a couple of tracks, I can later see them under "my courses" in Garmin Connect Android App

Please help. I already updated both App and Edge to the latest sw version.

    Check out the Device Sync Audit in GC Mobile Menu » Settings after the unsuccessfull sync, and watch for any errors or warnings. Or just sync with the USB cable to Garmin Express.

    Hi, thank you.

    I checked the log and this is what I see:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/1gf80zfh6z53lva/2021-02-17%2007.48.10.png?dl=0

    There is no error I believe, it just says there is nothing to upload.
    To be sure, I deleted all courses, I created two new courses, one from an activity and one from "navigation",
    and I repeated the sync process once again, but still I can't see any course neither in my Cellphone app nor in the web app.

    Unfortunately Garmin express is not available for Android and I travel with my cellphone only..
    Thank you very much for your help

    Is this a function that should work? I understand that it would be nice but that doesn't mean that Garmin implemented it. I have the Edge 1030 and courses created on the device are not synced to Garmin Connect. Is it a new function on 1030+?

    This function does not exist - also not on the Edge 1030+.
    A course which was created on the Edge (i.e. out of an activity) or was imported via gpx-NewFiles is not synced to Garmin Connect.

    Good. That is what I thought. To get those courses to Connect you will have to fetch them as files and add them to Connect.

    If the user doesn't have a computer available it might be possible to use an USB-OTG adapter to fetch the files to phone or tablet. I did a quick test and connected my 1030 to my Android phone via USB-OTG and I could browse the file system on 1030 with a file explorer app on the phone.

    Hi and

    thank you for your feedback.

    I understand this functionality does not exist towards the Android Connect app, but it should exist in the web app. See:

    https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-web/221004/how-to-export-a-course-from-edge-1030-to-openrunner-gpx-or-xml

    The problem is that I can't see my courses even in the web app.
    For sure that is a functionality that I used at least once, but now I can't see any course.


    Thank you very much

    That link doesn't mention that you can sync them to Garmin Connect Web. It is just a question for where the files are located so he can manually handle them as files.

    trux says in that link that you find the courses in the folder /GARMIN/Courses/ on the device, but they are in FIT format. It might work to just convert them to GPX or TCX and then import them in Garmin Connect Web, but I haven't tested that.

    If you have no computer with you, you could also try whether you can access or sync the device based courses with the help of the Garmin Explore app.

    ...and @trux says, it is possible to export courses from WEB-Connect in GPX format. But - of course - this works only, if the course is stored in Garmin Connect.

    What you can do:
    Plug in your device to your PC/Mac, open Basecamp. What you already did, because you told us, you can see the courses now.

    Highlight the desired course in Basecamp. Go to Main Menu "File" - "Export" - "Export Selection".
    Export as GPX to your PC/Mac.

    Now open WEB-Garmin Connect. Goto "Trainings" - "Courses" and click "Import" (right bottom on the table with your own courses).
    Import the GPX file from your PC/Mac, give the course a name and you're in heaven!

    Thank you .


    My goal is to be independent from my laptop, as I travel with my cellphone only. I can access the web app from my cellphone.

    Such connect.garmin.com app is basically a mirror of my Edge, and there I see activities, workouts, and courses.

    But activities are synced, and courses are not. I can't understand why. If it's a format problem, why I can see my activities and not my courses? Aren't they both in fit format?

    Thank you again and sorry for continuing this 3d...
