When I had my Edge 1000, I tried with two friends who had 1000's to share a file. We couldn't "find" each other. When I got my Edge 1030, I tried to share a file with my Edge 1000. Again, the devices couldn't find each other.
Shawn recently replied to an earlier post on the forum, that both the 1000 and 1030 were working with respect to this feature.
I currently have two Edge 1030's. My older one is on software level 3.90. The new one is on 4.00. I went into Connected Features, then Device Transfers. Both units sit, searching for Nearby Connections.
If I press Share Files on the older 1030, then Courses, then choose a course (Fullerton to Oceanside), and press the check mark at the bottom right of the screen, I get a screen that says Waiting for Connections with the circle, and a message that I can stop sharing the selected files by pressing the back button. After a bit, the new 1030 says I have a Nearby Connection called Edge 1030. When I select that connection, it shows that a course named Fullerton to Oceanside is available. When I try to receive it, I get "Transfer failed. Try again" and a check mark. If I change the selected course on the old 1030, I can see the different course on the new 1030, but again the transfer fails.
This seems to indicate that the new Edge 1030 is connecting with the old Edge 1030. In fact, when I look at Courses on the new 1030, I can see two courses, including Fullerton to Oceanside, that I have tried to share. And when I go to Navigation and select that course, it seems to be complete and usable. The initial direction and turns from the starting point are correct.
So it appears the device transfer feature works, just not cleanly. The old Edge 1030 never said that it had a connection to the new Edge 1030.
Does anyone see something I'm doing wrong? Could someone give me a step by step method for sharing files? Thanks!
