Connect IQ RideWithGPS app Error 0

I installed the RideWithGPS app on the 830 and it showed up.  But when I try to use it, it returns Error 0.  What is this?  

  • Yes.

    Once after charging the edge I synced it with Garmin Express and when I unplugged the 830 it popped up the pairing screen for RideWithGPS but I must have touched something because the screen went away.  I tried to access it again but got the  error 0. 

  • The RwGPS app uses the Garmin Connect phone app over BT to access your RwGPS account. These apps don't seem to work if WiFi is enabled & connected.

    Try disabling WiFi & try again. You do need to pair your app with your RwGPS account which you should be able to do once the app connects with RwGPS 

  • That did it.  Thanks.

    I seem to be having sync issues also.  Maybe related.  I can sync when I plug into my PC and use Garmin Express.  But if I try to sync from my phone via GC app, it mostly times out and fails. Is this another case where I need to turn off wifi?

    I'm coming from an 800 so I'm mostly new to the BT/Wifi stuff. 

    I have to say that I really like the 830 so far.  The display is nicer - I can fit more fields and they're legible.  The battery seems to last a lot longer.  I like the warnings like "sharp turn ahead" and such.  I haven't tried navigation yet but loaded a few rides and this looks pretty quick.  I've only done two rides so far but in both cases my sensors (Ant+ speed, cadence and HR) worked fine.  I save the ride and 5 seconds later I get a notification from Strava that it's been uploaded.

    I'm really only having issues with sync.  Is it better to just disable WIFI?

  • I have used this with WiFi enabled and not observed any problem.  If I forget to enable the phone connection it yells at me, but works once I get that enabled.

  • Thanks - this got my RwGPS up-and-running, and as a bonus, solved the similar activation problem I was having with Komoot too!  Thanks!

  • The RWGPS app won’t work without BT enabled. That shouldn’t be necessary.

    My app doesn’t need BT to do the same thing. But it seems that the WiFi isn’t always turned on (on the 1030+), which means the connection isn’t there for a short while.
