Activity Profile

Hi,

my Garmin does not save the last used profile. After every restart the first profile is always selected.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

    This sounds like the profile held in memory is corrupt. The unit will need to be reset. You can back it up before you do the reset and then restore your settings afterwards.

    This is the process for an Edge, but it is very similar for the watches, just some of the folders are named a little differently.

     

    On the Edge go down in to the Garmin folder and select all the folders and copy them to your PC. Don’t copy the files in the Garmin folder otherwise you will be there all-day copying maps.

    Next reset the unit.

     

    Non-prompted Non-Vol Clear - Clears NV and deletes all FIT files including Activities, Courses, Workouts.

      1. Turn device off
      2. Hold Lap/Reset and Start/Stop
      3. Press and release the power button
      4. Continue to hold only Lap/Reset and Start/Stop
      5. Release Lap/Reset and Start/Stop when the Garmin Logo is cleared
      6. The unit will restart and clear non-vol

    On you PC you have the following folders

    Follow the guide below to decide which files you need and where to place them on the new unit or the original unit after a reset.
