Edge 830 not syncing courses

Hi, I have just upgraded from a 520 to an 830, and now I have a problem with syncing routes. I'm using Strava routes which usually would sync nicely to my Edge 520 as long as I had them starred in Strava. However, with the 830 I get no routes (courses) in the Navigation menu. Everything else seems to sync OK (activities, settings IQ Apps, etc), but no courses.

I have with Wifi enabled and disabled. I some times get the error message that "the device seems to be busy", but usually the sync finishes OK. But stil no courses in the navgation menu.

Any ideas?

    Have you tried plugging it into a computer running Garmin Express and syncing via that?

    I think I have figured it out. It seems that since I have already synced these routes with my old 520, Garmin Connect considers them synced, and will not sync them again with a different device. If I add a new route to Strava however, it is synced as expected. I'll just upload the old routes manually and the rest should work OK.

    Same here. Just upgraded to Edge 830 from Edge 520Plus. No way to sync routes from Garmin Connect / Strava. Tried unsuccessfully also via Garmin Express (cable on Mac). ON 520P synchronised just fine and rather annoying that with a brand new 830 I have to manually upload courses...

    I had the same impression: a new route on strava syncs well with Edge830. Old ones, already sync with Edge 520P don't. However curious because I also have a forerunner which  syncs routes well, although already sync on Edge.... maybe because differentiate btw Edge and Forerunner (?).
