Garmin Connect and Facebook.

When I share a workout from Garmin Connect to Facebook, my distances in miles. I want them in kilometers. My watch are set to kilometers, my Garmin Connect account is also set to km. Before I share the workout from Garmin Connect account the distances are in kilometers, but when the link is opened on Facebook, it changed to mil. What am I doing wrong?

    +1 here too.... so sick of Garmins crappy buggy software....

    The products are great, but the software developers should be covered in butter and put outside on a sunny day! ;-)

    This still isn't fixed? What a joke!

    Seriously. What a joke. How hard can it be to fix this? At the very least, make it display the info in both imperial and metric. How hard can _that_ be?

    Note: I do not recommend Garmin to my friends because of this lame issue.

    Hi Garmin,

    Yep same problem as the rest of the world. Its time to move to metric.
  • I suggest that everybody sends question about this problem (+ this thread) to [email][email protected][/email]! Maybe it will wake them up and finally fix this...

    I have the same problem. It is really annoing. I think Garmin isn't aware that the software is very important part of sold devices. Garmin connect isn't sexy as runkeeper, nike plus or endomondo pages.
  • This is the answer I got from garmin support:

    "Thank you for contacting Garmin International and I'd be happy to help.
    Thanks for sharing this information. We are aware of this current issue and are currently working on it. However, I do not have a time frame at this time on when we can expect to see this issue corrected.
    Thanks again for letting us know."

    So I hope that they will fix this soon...

    Looking at the threads.. It's been a longtime complaint

    This is the answer I got from garmin support:

    I went here looking for a fix. Doesn't seem like one or that Garmin is very interested. Makes the share to Facebook feature useless for most of the world and their devices sell worldwide.

    Same here.

    We are in metric, my friends all relate to metric, the watch and my garmin connect profile are in metric, why, oh why, does it post in miles on FB!?
