Syncing routes between strava and Garmin 66i

Same problem here. 

Same Problem here. Set the 66i to save both fit and gpx files. Found out you have to sync to garmin Explore app. Unfortunately no export to Strava found there. 

Bit stupid that everything synchs to Connect (and from there to Strava) but the the 66i. My activities are a mess now. 

You mean strava to 66i or the other way round? I get a synchronisation error everytime the 66i tries to sync to Connect. Already got a new unit. Same problem. Tried 3 different phones. 

Seems like a typical early adopter Garmin issue. Not to happy being a beta tester for a 600+ euro device. 

to the 66i. No problem with syncing to garmin connect (android).

I can also connect het 66i to explore app (android), but doesn't seem to do anything active.

Early adopter and garmin... can be quite a hassle indeed!

I want it to sync the otter way round. From 66i to Connect (and from there to strava). Has not happened yet. I wonder why my sync fails everytime.

Hi, can double-check this: you are saying routes are syncing FROM Strava routes TO the 66i?

Exactly what I'm looking for, but so far failing to see how to achieve. Strava 'routes' syncs to Garmin Connect as a 'course', which then either automatically sync to other Garmin devices (Edge, fenix etc) or can be manually pushed (app or website) - yet when trying to do that for the 66i it lists the 66i connected to my account as "Not Compatible"...?

There is a way!

But I don't know how it happens.

Short story:

I've made a route in strava. And the next day it is in my 66i!

Remarks& random thoughts:

-There is quite some delay, don't know why

-Directly syncing with Garmin connect and Garmin explore app didn't do anything to the 66i at that moment

-maybe it needs the fenix 5 to sync indirectly?

-maybe it needs multiple syncs and reboot?
