Forerunner 50 - Data does not appear in dashboard

Hi guys - I have been using my Forerunner for 9 months and downloading data to the dashboard without any difficulty. Suddenly I am now having difficulty with this operation. The watch sends the info to the USB stick - the icon in bottom right of the screen becomes active, and then the watch deletes the information. However the new information does not appear on the dashboard. I have deleted some old data thinking the store might be full but that doesn't help.

Very frustrating - I did a great run this evening and it's disappeared into the ether!:mad:

Anyone else had this and sorted it out??

Many thanks.
  • The data should be in your ANT Agent folder. If you want to check, look in
    C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Devices\device_id (in Windows 7/Vista). If need be, you can manually upload the data to Garmin Connect.

    Check that you have the latest version of Garmin Communicator. Currently version 2.8.1 if using Windows.

    Thanks Phil - thats great help.

    What file format is the data stored in? i.e what is the three letter file extension? .dll? .dat?

    They will be .tcx files in the history folder.
