Sync routes (courses) from Garmin Connect to Edge

Greg
over 2 years ago

Hello guys, 

Im new in a Garmin world, just migrated from the other bike computer ;-) 

More or less I know how to move in this new environment however I do not understand how synchronization works here. I read a manual, some tips and tricks on the internet but still ... 

My case:

I connected Garmin Connect to my Strava and Komoot accounts. My routes from this sites have been synced and all of them are visible in Garmin Connect -> Training -> Courses -> Created by you.

As far as I know all of those courses should be automatically synchronized with my Edge device. No idea how it works, but only few are synchronized with Edge. 45 courses in Connect vs 16 on Edge.

Please explain me how it works, what should I do to sync them all? Or maybe I do something wrong here?

I know that I can add FIT/GPX files directly to my device via cable or "send to my device" options in Connect and send them manually one by one - its not the case here.

    I believe that if you click on the Star by each course, that will make it automatically transfer to the Garmin on next sync.

    No, it does not work like that. Any of 16 courses which are already on my Edge are’nt starred. I add star in one of my routes in Connect just for testing now… synced and nothing ;(

    Somewhere here I read about the auto-sync on new routes. That is not happening for me either. I'm very used to opening the course on the app and sending it to the edge. Did the same with the 830.

    Hmm, so for Strava routes, I unstarred and re-starred my saved routes and those showed up on my edge 1040 on the next sync. Note that Garmin Connect showed the route but wasn’t starred there.

    i aslime that ridewithgps routes will behave similarly. 
    But I guess nothing in Garmin Connect interface to bulk upload  any existing courses to a new device.

    Sync between 3rd party app (such as Strava or Komoot) and Garmin Connect works fine. I have a problem with syncing between Garmin Connect and Edge device

    When you open the course on Garmin connect app there is an option to send it to a device (top right corner while viewing the course). Sending it to the 1040 wil make it appear 2 seconds later on the device.

    Oh I thought your send to device was working, it was just that you wanted to send all your courses w/o having to do that for each one individually
