Non-Garmin devices detected

Former Member

I started integrating the Garming Connect API into my running site the other day. I've read most of the API docs and examples (half of which have broken keys), but noticed an odd problem on my laptop.

The .getDevices() method thinks that my HP USB thumbdrive is a Garmin device. I'm sure this will happen to some of my users, so I thought there must be some sort of Garmin unique serial or id I can detect.

Does anyone know a way around this, aside from parsing the device description text string for every model of Garmin made? Will the softwareVersion always be 0 for non-Garmin devices?

Thanks.
