I am experiencing serious sync issues between Garmin Explore Web, the Garmin Explore iOS app, and my GPSMAP 67i.
The problems include:
-
Garmin Explore iOS fails during Syncing from Website / Collections.
-
Collections created or organized in Garmin Explore Web do not reliably appear in the iOS app.
-
Garmin Explore Web, the iOS app, and the GPSMAP 67i show different data.
-
The app sometimes syncs from GPSMAP 67i and pulls old tracks/routes/courses/activities back into the app.
-
When syncing to/from the device, the app shows warnings such as “Syncing large amounts of data might be slow.”
-
The device still shows old data such as Cycling-related data, while the Web setup has been cleaned.
-
After syncing, data that appeared from Web can disappear again from the app.
-
Device sync and Web sync appear to conflict. At one point the app showed “Web sync is disabled while syncing to the device.”
I have already tried:
-
Turning off GPSMAP 67i
-
Turning off iPhone Bluetooth
-
Reinstalling Garmin Explore iOS
-
Trying both Wi-Fi and mobile data
-
Cleaning Garmin Explore Web so only very few items remain
-
Syncing Web to app before syncing the device
-
Removing recently added items and retrying sync
Despite this, the Garmin Explore iOS app, Garmin Explore Web, and GPSMAP 67i still do not reliably stay in sync.
This makes the GPSMAP 67i unreliable for preparing and syncing planned routes/collections for trips. I need a safe way to make Garmin Explore Web, the app, and the device match, without old device data overwriting or removing my planned trip data.
