My android phone shows the Edge 530 is connected but Connect IQ is not connected

ABinHRNC — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 19:32:49 GMT

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 phone connected to my Edge 530.
Recently the Windfield App stopped displaying the windspeed.

I am trying to delete and reinstall the Windfield app. The Connect app on my phone shows that the Edge is connected but Connect IQ shows the edge as "Not Connected".

I have deleted and reinstalled both Connect and Connect IQ on the phone. I have restarted both the phone and the Edge. I have unpaired the Edge from my phone and re-paired it.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Is it possible to see actual map when I am doing indoor training?

kbaigio — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 11:39:10 GMT

I want to re-ride a course—whether it's one I've previously ridden, downloaded, or created—on my indoor trainer (Wahoo KICKR).

While doing this, can I see the actual map showing my virtual location? I am not referring to the elevation profile; I want to see the real map.

I used to be able to do this with my Fenix 6, but since I upgraded to the Fenix 8, this feature is no longer supported. Does the Garmin Edge do this?

Avg Power to weight (w/kg) fields not supported in Extended Display mode?

sbrumley — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:55:17 GMT

I use an Enduro 3 to record activities, and sometimes (for indoor rides) I use an Edge 530 in Extended Display mode. I can display "Power to Weight" on the Edge screen just fine, but if I add "Lap Power to Weight", or "Average Power to Weight" to the data screens, Edge says "Not Supported". These aren't custom data fields, they are ordinary "out of the box" fields. Any idea what the limitation is or if there is a workaround?

Edge530map not showing

Kirkcaldykayaker — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 11:00:25 GMT

I have recently noticed my garmin edge 530 no longer shows the base map below my route (i.e I am following a red line). The help desk have been useless asked 2 questions then offered a refurbished unit at a cost. I followed up with another couple of questions, but they are not replying to these. The device is only 3 year old and obviously out of warranty.

Everything seems to be up to date. The help desk asked me to go to "map manager" which I could not see in the system menu on the device. I have found another folder map visibility in the profile folders.

Can anyone help?

Garmin Edge 530 reboots on every synchronization after last Garmin Connect update on Android

5063666 — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 07:24:50 GMT

Hello,

My Edge 530 was working fine this week, until last Connect update at 19.08. After that, EVERY synchronization triggered in Garmin Connect is ending with hard reboot of the device. Synchronization via Garmin Express works fine.

GoPro mount slippage

nwild — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 12:27:49 GMT

I mounted a Cycliq Fly12 Sport camera under my Garmin out front mount. My 520+ computer mounts on top. The camera is mounted to a GoPro adapter underneath. The problem is that the camera pivots up and down no matter how tight I tighten the mounting screw. There needs to be some type of friction on the tangs. Anyone have any ideas, or a mount that will not allow the camera to move up and down?

Edge 530 stopped recording GPS coordinates mid-ride (FIT file missing location data)

Z_Dumi — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 08:06:12 GMT

Hi everyone,

I encountered an issue with my Garmin Edge 530 (Firmware 9.81) during a recent outdoor ride and could use some advice or insights on why this happened.

Setup & Sensors used:

*.FIT No Coordinates

Route

Garmin Edge 530
HRM-Pro+ Heart Rate Monitor
Power2Max Power Meter
Garmin SPD06 Speed Sensor

The Issue: During a ~100 km outdoor ride, the Edge 530 recorded all sensor metrics flawlessly (Power, HR, Cadence, Speed, Temperature, and custom FIT developer fields/alphaHRV). However, when exporting the FIT file, no GPS/position data (Lat/Lon coordinates) was recorded for the activity.

Because the GPS stream is missing from the FIT file, uploading directly to Strava results in broken moving time/elevation metrics and missing segment matches.

Questions for the community:

What could cause the Edge 530 to silently drop/stop recording GPS data mid-ride or fail to log coordinates while continuing to record all external ANT+/BLE sensors normally?
Has anyone experienced this behavior on FW 9.81, and is there any known fix or preventive step (e.g., hard reset, specific GPS setting adjustments)?
Is there a recommended way to recover/merge the missing GPS track directly within the FIT structure without distorting the original timeline and sensor data?

Any tips or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Dumitru

Course downloads fail over wifi but other transfers work

Sliced7014 — Thu, 14 May 2026 19:06:12 GMT

Recently my Edge 530 has become unable to download courses over wifi. However uploading completed activities and downloading custom workouts works correctly so it's not a general connectivity problem. I should mention that I'm only able to use wifi (I don't have a smart phone).

I've tried removing all courses from the device but that didn't help. The only way I'm able to transfer courses currently is by connecting to a PC via USB.

Is it possible that there's a corrupt course stuck in the queue somewhere? Something else perhaps? What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for any help.

Performance Notifications cannot be turned off?

confar — Fri, 08 May 2026 18:15:50 GMT

Garmin, in this forum, says that Performance Notifications can be turned off. All switches are in the off position now (Performance Condition, New VO2 Max, and Training Effect) But at the end of every ride I still get a screen labeled Training Status with a graph below. This really isn't helpful at all in that many of my rides are in town with lots of stop/start. I would like to disable this screen, but it appears that that isn't possible. Am I wrong on this? Thanks

How to update training load when Garmin fails to record heart rate?

eric.ristad — Mon, 04 May 2026 20:59:41 GMT

This week I raced a hill climb - 30 minutes of maximal effort, wearing a heart rate monitor - but my Edge 530 did not record my heart rate so it assigned a training load of only 8. As a result, my training plan is now screwed up because it thinks I took a rest day instead of going all out like I did. At a minimum, I would like to manually enter a more realistic training load score (including anerobic, high aerobic, and low aerobic values, which I can guess from my previous efforts on the hill climb) so my training plan remains useful. Even better would be if the Edge 530 could calculate a realistic training load from my power data, which it did record. How do I do this?

Editing course names with pc?

Cranky K. — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 15:57:57 GMT

I "successfully" changed the course names I needed to with the pc, but when I fired up the 530 all of the old course names were still there. When I reconnect the 530 to the pc the old file names are there as well. Can I really not change the course/route names from the pc or did I do something wrong?

Upload Failed over WiFi on device

StevenGilbert — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:42:16 GMT

In the last few weeks, my Garmin Edge 530 fails to upload rides over wifi connection directly from device. It worked fine about a month ago.

Nothing has changed. Same wifi, same device.

I can only sync now if I connect to my phone. If I disconnect from my phone, it seems to work, but then I lose other phone connected features such as alerts, bike alarm and collision alerts

Max Virtual Partner speed is 235.9285714286 km/h and some other similar subtle details of the hated VP (btw how to disable moderators :-) to avoid the regular closure of virtual partner related threads?)

I did not suppose I could say anything new to the matter annoyance of VP, but as a sort of coincidence I observed that all the simplification of courses that I had mentioned earlier in the thread linked must have been the consequence of setting a VP speed OVER an embedded real maximum.

I mean when I set 999 km/h as VP speed and I saw a simplified course omitting some necessary course elements I thought that Edge omitted everything where a distance between two turns of the course were covered for LESS THAN 1 second by the very fast VP.

Since that post of mine I used 99 km/h as VP speed.

Yesterday I had a long ride and I decided to try 999 km/h again for a course (prepared not on Edge, but in GC). On Edge I saw that the actual VP speed was less than 100 km/h.

After some testing I figured out that the real max VP speed is 235 km/h (as round number, the real max is something 235.9285714286 km/h), because above it there is an overflow. So setting 236 km/h results in 0.1 km/h. Setting 237 km/ will be 1.1 km/h etc.

Since I had never used VP screen at all, I tested it, too, just to see what else it gave as option to get rid off VP. I realized that you could reset VP if the screen was added with a menu item. Great :-), it has just the opposite effect, VP will be again around me. :-)

I found another menu item with which one can change the VP speed on Edge, but it works only when navigating with not (preloaded courses), but routes created by Edge. Alas.

Is this ticket RE: Change Virtual Partner 100% still open? LOL

Test request tcx_fit course

wiwiwi — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 09:19:21 GMT

Can a volunteer have a test and report back please.
Tests with old and more recent Edge gps are welcome

Find the test files in the zip attachment please.

A. Source is a TBT gpx navigation track. (Instructions in trkpt) (Cruiser gps).

B. Manual reedit into a TBT gpx navigation track. (Instructions in wpt).
Similar operation as the tcx course mode. (A tcx clone by gpx) (Locus map)

C. Manually created the tcx course. Attention !
- Some Coursepoint Name do contain +10 characters.
- This tcx file does not contain DistanceMeters !

D. Locus map tcx conversion into a fit file. (fit does not support Notes)

And to be complete a tcx export conversion by the Javawa RTW tool.
Adds the Distancemeters but has that 'official' Name character limit

Observe the testfiles with basic Notepad++ (except for .fit)
Microsoft xml Notepad is another fine editor. (Offers validation)

xml Notepad indicates a CoursePoint Name with +10 characters to be not conform.

Power cycle to stop rides - has this been fixed?

2042797 — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 03:55:34 GMT

This seems to have been an issue for many years on this forum. While doing a standard ride, either natively or with a separate app, the option to stop rides disappears. The solution has been to power cycle and then the option shows up.

Has there ever been a real fix for this glitch as of 2026? My Edge 530 used to act normally, and I had all options at my disposal. Maybe 2 years ago, I lost the ability to stop rides and I have had to power cycle since. I am currently on v9.75.

I wonder what the change was?

Speed sensor recalibration over time

ewarnerusa — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 03:41:40 GMT

I'm curious about if my device tunes its calibration with the speed sensor over time? What happens if I change tires?
