Unable to push a course from Komoot to Edge 1030 during a ride

Whilst I am riding, I sometimes need to change my route and normally plot all my routes on Komoot. I have found that if I have a ride in progress, I am unable to sync a new course from Garmin Connect. Can this issue be fixed?

This is normal. You can’t push a new course to a head unit using a 3rd party app.

you can push a course from GCM or another head unit.

Check out the GRouteLoader widget. It takes a little more effort but can be done

The route is in GCM but won't sync with the Edge 1030 if I have an activity in progress.

My experience with the Edge is that when an activity is running (recording) there is no file transfer possible. You must transfer all you need before you hit start, if if you are stuck, then stop/record then transfer and start again

That's not correct. You can download files just fine while recording an activity.

The issue is that the program needs to be a widget.

OK but you are twisting the facts here. The core functionality of the Edge does not allow it which is to transfer a course from the Connect Mobile app to the Edge, without resorting to some kind of CIQ hack.

Completely agree. It's a bug or a feature missing in the Garmin software. Wahoo allows you to do this without any issues and for me it's very frustrating as there have been half dozen times at least where I needed to plot a new route and have been unable to push a new route from Garmin Connect Mobile.

It should be out of the box functionality and not sure why a simple sync operation cannot take place during an activity

With more people going on adventure rides, this feature will be critical in my opinion and should be looked at by Garmin

No, I'm not "twisting the facts".

What you said, "no file transfer is possible", is simply and clearly wrong.

It's not only possible, it's easy to do!

Wanting the devices to have the feature accessible "out of the box" is different than it being "not possible".

It's technically a "core" function since IQ programs are just using a feature built-in to the device (the download code is part of the firmware).
