Ride With GPS is no longer downloading Pinned routes - showing an error

I should have brought my Wahoo Bolt.  Im on vacation in Hawaii, rented a bike, pinned some good rides using Ride with GPS and the dang 530 crapped out on me.  Wouldnt load any of the routes and now Im getting this error

"We encountered an error trying to load this content.  HTTP error:-2"

Kept trying to restart the garmin unit and when it did get passed this error, the Loading Route page just hangs. 

This was working fine before the update to 4.10 ver.  I was able to load routes from RWGPS on the fly via bluetooth 

  • I think that was because the ridewithgps app was not open on your phone

  • Look at the posting date. It's not likely the person is still waiting for an answer a year later.

    In any case, the RWGPS IQ app (on the Garmin) doesn't need the RWGPS app (on the phone).

  • that is strange because the other day I tried to load a ride to my garmin 1030 using the ridewithgps iq app and I got the same message.  After I started the ridewithgps app on my phone, I was able to do the transfer

  • I'll have to try it on my friend's 1030. The RWGPS app isn't available for the 1030+.

    When I tried it a while ago, it didn't need the app at all (as far as I recall).

    My IQ app/widget downloads pinned routes from RWGPS without the RWGPS app. There's no reason the RWGPS IQ app should need the RWGPS phone app.

    It should even work without the phone if the 1030 is connected to WiFi.

    ========================

    The IQ API documentation shows -2 as a "BT timeout", That could be due to a missing app but it could be just BT (which is slow).

    BLE_HOST_TIMEOUT -2

    1.0.0

    We timed out waiting for a response from the host.

  • The RWGPS IQ app does not require the RWGPS app on the phone.

    It works fine with a phone that doesn't have the phone app.

    I just tried it (again).

    The RWGPS IQ app does require BT and Garmin Connect on the phone (the IQ app can't use wifi).

    My app can use just wifi (if your device provides WiFi access).

  • have found that I need to put my phone and my Garmin on the same wifi network. even thought the transfer is blue tooth
