    I used to regard Garmin as a market leader for GPS devices.
    After 6 months of using a Garmin 200 and the connect website my view has changed.
    The units themselves seem robust.
    The connect website and software support is a mixed bag and many seem to just…
  • RE: Weight: select lbs or kgs

    ben,
    Thanks for the details! I'll wrap all this up and report it to the group. If you notice, there's a statute uk option which also mixes measurement types, if you want a mix in the mean time.
    Once again, thank you so much for being so detailed…

    Can there be an official method of merging FIT files?

    Pretty frustrating that there's no way of uploading two FIT files, selecting a MERGE option and things just working.

    As a Fenix user, it's really easy to accidentally switch of GPS by fumbling…

    I might have a solution for the HRM unit.

    I have tried the HR gel and it doesn't seem to help. I have started an experiment that might actually work but is a little messy. I changed the spark plugs in my car and needed to use dialectic grease to make…
  • 60CSX USB Power Req?

  • RE: Will Garmin have long distance terristerial AM Radio?

    AM ( amplitude modulation) was famous for taking «it all»

    Actually it is not. Unlike FM, that needs to occupy a certain frequency range, the AM takes only a single frequency. The main disadvantage of AM was not the bandwidth, but the suspectibility…

  • Connect website usability issues

    Having used both the Connect website and the app for more years than I care to admit, I've decided to start a thread to post my biggest pet peeves, just in the off chance that I'm not alone and some that some of you want to commiserate. (I don't expect…

  • RE: The new web home page is a JOKE

    Oh yeah, and the process of selecting gear (like shoes) is ridiculous in the app.

    If you click on the Gear tab of an activity, you can't change (add or remove) gear if gear is already selected (which will likely be the case if you're a runner and you…

    I haven't been to the Garmin site for quite awhile to check on new hardware releases and got all excited when I saw the new Rino 65x series...only to be let down.

    I initially got a couple Rino 110's for hunting, fishing, camping/hiking use many years…
