Sync 910xt using Two Different Computers

Hi there. This may be in the wrong forum. I have an iMac and a Macbook Air which I use when I travel (has been a lot lately). Is it possible to sync my 910xt to a single Garmin Connect account using two different computers, depending on if I am at home or away? Or will that mess something up?

Thanks

All it means is that you will have the files taken off your device stored in 2 different locations. Nothing that can't be sorted out by a move one way or another.

Oh! I was thinking that it synced directly with Garmin Connect, without storing anything on the computer. I haven't actually gotten the 910xt yet. It's being shipped. I don't want to mess with moving files from one computer to another. If that is indeed how it would work, I'll just pick one computer.

There's no problem copying the files from one computer to the other to keep the files in one place if it's more convenient to work on 2 computers. The other option is to have one computer with ANT Agent set to delete files after upload, the set to delete them - set to keep on the MacBook Air, delete on the iMac. To sync on the iMac after synching on the MBA, select transfer all.

I do recommend not keeping anything more than you need on the 910. Despite what Garmin say, these devices do not seem to work properly with data stored on them.
