705 - Can't upload long ride to GC

Former Member
Former Member
This is the first problem i've encountered thus far. Normally everything uploads successfully, however this 1 ride (5 hours) refuses to upload to GC.

When going through the normal upload procedure, it doesn't even list there to be uploaded.

When I do a manual upload I just get
"An error occurred with your upload. Please try again"

I've tried copying the .tcx file to my Desktop and doing a manual upload, however it reports the same error.

The ride has been my longest since i've had this 705 and it is 6.5MB in size.
- I would think this wouldn't be the problem though.

The reason it may be so big is i've enabled the every second recording, however all my other shorter rides upload fine (2-3hours)

Please see attached the file incase you can spot any bugs in it.

- tried uploading the .tcx to this forum however it failed. had to zip it up

Help appreciated

    Ok. I still can't upload it.

    I've tried the new file you gave me.
    I've also tried exporting the one on your account to a .tcx file and tried uploading that, but that failed also.

    Do you think it's because i've already got the one already on there that's at the same time?

    Not quite sure how i can get past this.

    Thanks for your help thus far.

    Never mind, it's uploaded.

    Even though it said there was an error. I refreshed the page and nothing was there.

    I then logged off and logged back on and it appeared.

    Must have just taken a little while.

    I now see maps.

    Cheers
  • I ran into the same problem. Here's the response I received from Garmin Support:

    Dear Jonathan Eiseman,

    I looked into the problem some more a found a issue that have seen with some activities. If they are over a certain size they will not load map data or delete. There is nothing we can do on our side to delete it from your account. You will have to wait for a fix to be sent out for Garmin Connect to allow you to delete that activity. I apologize for the inconvience and have a good day.

    Try using the second version that I limited to 10,000 trackpoints (you will be able to upload that version). Why are you using "every second" recording?


    JONEISEMAN,

    Thanks for sharing this with us. I too have had issues uploading LONG rides to GC. I recently ran into this issue with my Edge 500.

    I put in a 105 mile ride on Sunday. GC pukes with the errors as stated above, however, Garmin Training Center accepts the file without issue.

    I am going to look at the .tcx i get from GTC tonight to see if I can get it to upload properly.

    Hopefully Garmin will address this issue or at least parse the files properly soon.
