Can't upload to GC

Former Member
Former Member
I've tried and tried but for whatever reason I can't get my 305 to upload data into GC on a regular basis. I was able to do it just once at 3:00am but aside from that no luck. Anyone have any suggestions. Motionbase was great and I very seldom had issues. Why are we reinventing the wheel here?

    cant upload my gpsmap60csx to GC

    For some reason I can't upload my tracks from my gpsmap60csx to GC
    I have a forerunner 201 and that one downloads just fine
    does anyone know why it won't upload? When I click on the upload button it finds my 60csx and then it says "reading activities from GPSmap 60csx please wait" but nothing happens, it never uploads anything
    Would apreciate any advice to correct this problem
    Thank you

    Not supported yet. From notes on the migration

    Garmin Connect will support the Garmin outdoor and automotive/motorcycle product lines in the fall of 2009. In the meantime, we recommend that you continue uploading activities from these devices to MotionBased.


    You can periodically check here for updates.

    TCX files won't upload (since Friday 21 Aug)

    Up until Friday evening, I was able to save a TCX file from Training Center and then manually upload that to GC. Now, no matter what I do or when I try it, I always get the error message:

    Unable to upload file. Possible reasons for this error:
    - You are not signed in. Refresh this page and try again.
    - Our servers are having technical difficulties.

    I have several files and I get the same error msg on each. My 205 died and is either at Garmin or about to get there. Does its serial number in the TCX affect things?


    Help!

    I don't understand why some TCX files wil upload and others will not. My 205 died and I am recycling runs I did earlier and then editing the date, saving the file, and uploading to GC. Some work, some don't...there is no consistency that I can see.

    I get this error message which seems to be what everyone else gets:

    Unable to upload file. Possible reasons for this error:
    - You are not signed in. Refresh this page and try again.
    - Our servers are having technical difficulties.

    Odd.

    FYI, I got manual uploads to work with data fetched using gpsbabel! See https://forums.garmin.com/showpost.php?p=75870&postcount=10

    I use gpsbabel to download from my Garmin Forerunner 305 to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop. The output is a GPX format file, a standard for GPS data encoded in XML.

    I'm unable to upload this GPX data to Garmin Connect (I always get "Some activities could not be created") ... anyone have any hints on how to get this to work?

    gpsbabel supports MANY file formats. I tried "Garmin Training Center xml", but this didn't work.

    I realize I use an unsupported operating system, but uploading data in this manner used to work fine on MotionBased.

    Here's an example run: http://pastey.net/122832
