I am battling to change from miles to Km's on Garmin connect, I click on the drop down box to change but it is not saving my option. What am I doing wrong? It shows Km's on my watch Forerunner 10) but not on connect.

    I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
  • It works for me. At the drop down list from my username in the top right of a Garmin Connect page I select 'settings' and then at the 'display preference' I choose 'metric'. It saves it automatically now and there should be a little yellow highlighted note above that pops up saying preference saved.

    And you are talking about the website through a browser on your PC/mac and not some smartphone app right?

    I have the same issue - I can change language setting on 'Display Preferences' screen, but all the other settings don't work - there is no post-back to the server when I change a setting in a dropdown. One more thing - when I select 'Display Preferences' in the list on the left side the tab is still grayed-out (I don't know if it is associated with the main issue).

    I have the same problem and I use Firefox with Firebug to check onchange event on drop down box
    where we can select the unit but I don't found any event on this box.
    So you can change as many time as you want the value, the browser does nothing to send your preference to Garmin website.
    The Garmin's developers shoud correct this bug before we can change our settings.

    Exactly Team Garmin. Please fix that because most of us in Europe use KM/min not mi/min. Thats important thing to fix !

    Same problem... Nothing happens. Weird thing is that I have my 1st and 2nd swimming trainings saved in meters and my 3rd training (bike) in miles. Time zone does not change either, it remains at Greenwich time, regardless of the zone I choose.
