New 830 arriving tomorrow and I have 6 bike profiles on the older 810. Is there a function on Garmin Connect that will synch/transfer to the new device without manual work?

The newer units don't have bike profiles, but rather activity profiles and a sensor pool.
You will need to set the unit up from scratch.
Thank you for your response. Was hoping I could do a back up dump then be able to recover it on the new unit.
It would seem to make sense for Garmin to make a lightweight transfer tool to do this for us, as a reward for upgrading.
Or better still, upload the setting.xml and similar files to Connect so we can sync new and existing devices. I'd also love it if the sensor pool could be used to determine what equipment was used for what activity. So my road bike cadence sensor could be linked to my road bike in Connect and add it to the activity. Same with footpod on shoes.
