can someone please help , i cannot find the UPLOAD button on the new Modern garmin connect , ive found import but not the upload .....where is it or does anyone know how to do it , ive been going back to classic to upload :confused::confused::confused:
  • Activities then click import then you can upload just like before :)
  • According to this, the functionality is there.

    Travis
  • But the import button is a manual upload. It doesn't go direct to device.
    Ah, it appears that it does it automatically!
  • Strange... I connected a 705 to my computer yesterday, opened GC (which was in the Classic view), and the new rides were already uploaded!!! Whut? Does whichever device I connect automatically upload to which ever account I have opened? That is NG. I need to have control over this as I have multiple devices and GC accounts that I manage.

    Edit...Hmmm. Don't know. Looks like an account needs to be linked to specific device. Must have something to do with Garmin Express, which AFAIK was not running when I connected the device.

    Same issue here. My with and I share a watch, and we like to manually select which workouts are uploaded to our respective garmin accounts. Looks like that functionality was removed. Anyone aware of how to manually select workouts to upload in the new "modern version"?

    Frustrating but..

    Same here.
    With the dawning of Gamin Connect 'modern' everything is now automatically uploaded via Garmin Express, which is fine unless you share a device like my wife and I do (it uploads my runs it to my wife's account so I have to delete my run from there, 'cut' it out of the Forerunner hard drive and then save it on my PC for manual upload to my Connect account.
    No big deal and the price you pay for sharing a device BUT it would be nice to have the option to turn autosync off.

    I've downloaded Garmin Express, but it won't upload my activities because Garmin Ant Agent is blocking. Could someone please assist?
    After I switch the ANT agent off, Garmin Express doesn't recognise that my stick is still plugged in.

    The Ant Agent has blocked my upload before. I shut down the Agent and plugged the stick in again and everything worked without issues.

    My device (Garmin 500) doesn't seem to by syncing to Modern. I'm getting a message that "there was an error syncing to Garmin Express." So I have to switch to Classic to upload.
