I emailed product support today and got a quick responce. Not what I wanted to hear.
"Thank you for contacting Garmin International.
At this time it is not possible to delete or edit goals in Garmin
Connect. This feature may be added in a future update, however there is
no timetable for if or when this feature will be available."
I have finally managed to delete goals, and old goals.
1. My connect software was 3.53
2.Ant agent 2.2.1
My garmin firmware is 3.20.
It took me twice to load this firmware,however once done, when i viewed my forerunner 310 in the settings and goals information The info which i entered on the Garmin connect software was present on the forerunner.(This had not happened before).
I then deleted the information on the forerunner and this inturn deleted all old goals from the connect screen.:). I hope this helps you all
It's very frustrating.
More than a year that this problem is beeing presented here in the Foruns, and the problem persists.
It's not possible to delete or edit goals! So, this function is useless, because we are humans and its normal to make mistakes!
And even if we dont make mistakes, it's normal to change our goals!
Please guys on Garmin, don't ignore us... Fix this problem, please!
recently (a couple of months ago) a new release of Connect allowed to edit and delete goals.
A few days ago, the functionality to delete a goal disappeared, whereas it is still possible to edit a goal by entering with a click into the cell to change.
The Forerunner allows the goal delete, but I cannot think it's functional to use the watch to delete a goal that was wrongly added in the Connect software.
And what about goals that are not uploaded to the Forerunner?
I would like to see the delete function appearing back again please, is it anything likely to happen in the near future???
Just adding my voice... The Goals portion of the website is terrible. Cannot delete or edit. Drives me nuts because this would be such an easy fix. Why Garmin? Are there any developers working on this product or what? :mad::mad::mad::mad:
I am person number 1,000,000 to report this problem over the last 5 months.
Same thing going on for me.. All OS's, all browsers.
Just got the 410 3 weeks ago...
What gets me mad is I didn't even make a mistake. I had set one week goal to run 20 miles. I finished the goal.
Today I was creating another goal to run 25 miles for next week. Well because of another bug in the software even though I am creating the goal at night it is giving me credit for the 6 mile run I did this morning in next weeks goal.
So I figured I would just delete that goal and have the next one start tomorrow. But there is no way to delete a goal... I cannot even edit the goal to just add 6 miles to it as a work around.
I am a software developer and if it took me 5 months (plus) to fix something so simple I would have been fired many years ago.
Is there any workaround I can use aside from just not using the goals function this week?
I really enjoy the Garmin Connect website and my new Garmin 210 and use it religiously. In reading the old posts I see this has been an issue for over a year now. According to kk this was supposed to have been remedied in mid-March of 2010. I still am unable to edit or delete goals as of March 2011.
I enjoy seeing the goals turn from green to gold when I've met them and it is a motivating feature of this website. True it probably is more of an annoyance than anything but it would be nice if we were able to edit and delete both active and future goals as well as being able to post-date them.
I decided to create a new weekly goal midway through the week and am unable to post-date a goal so that it includes runs that I've already completed. If this is to ever be fixed could they take into account that people make mistakes sometimes when creating goals and being able to edit them is an important feature. At least to me and the other million people who've posted before me. Thanks
Hello
I have just purchased my forerunner 210 and of course managed to wrongly enter my goal - please can anyone tell me if there is now a way to edit or change it - there are no edit or delete buttons as in the activities tab
I came to the forums looking for a solution to this same issue and am saddened to learn that folks have been bringing this issue up for some time and nothing has been done about it, nor does it appear that anything will.
What's even more disheartening is that in all of that time, the Garmin folks didn't think to simply change the wording in their help documents that clearly state that you can edit and delete goals and how to do so. If they're not going to fix it, then at least update your help document.
Not being able to edit or delete the goals is not a major deal or the end of the world for me. However, it could be a very useful tool. Because they have not done anything to fix this, t's hard for me to lend any credibility to the statement they make on their website that:
"We design our products with the customer in mind. Sidestepping the stress of navigation or travel begins with easy-to-use menus, logical options and intuitive features."
If that were true, then they'd address the issue somehow.
