Segments keep getting deleted!!!

jimday1982 over 7 years ago

I was using Strava segments on my Fenix 5, but because the latest version of Garmin Connect mobile chokes when trying to pair with a Fenix 5 with numerous segments, I went back to using Garmin segments. That said, whenever I sync segments to my Fenix 5, they are there for 5 minutes or so and then when I go back to check to see if if they are still there, it always says "No running segments saved."

I am incredibly frustrated. What is the trick to saving Garmin segments on the Fenix 5 and having them STAY there? Why do they keep getting deleted from the device?

I don't know what your problem is, but you can try a few things to see what is happening:

add Segments to your Garmin Connect dashboard so you can see what is on there
connect your watch to a computer in mass storage mode, then have a look in the \GARMIN\SEGMENTS folder to see what's there.

In my own case the 5 works fine with about 90 Strava Live segments, comprising about 60 favorites (starred) and a few of my own. That left some blank slots for popular ones in the local area. This was turned off and I have just turned it back on (I believe there is space for 100 segments total). Good luck.
