Question on Garmin Upload

It should show on the training edit page once it has uploaded . . .

Congrats! Sounds like you have it working. I've only been using the upload feature a couple of weeks but it is a huge time saver over having to enter info manually. Well worth the bronze membership if you've a Garmin.

1- As far as I can tell, "get data" means the BT site is connecting to your Garmin and finding the appropriate workout for the day (bike or run) whereas "upload workout" is taking that specific workout data and entering it directly into the data fields in your training log like you would manually.

2- I sometimes have the same issue with the hour glass hang. As long as you see the new data there in your training log you should be good to go. Just save the workout as you usually would and you shouldn't have any problems. At least I haven't. I assume the hourglass hang is just some glitch in the web page disconnecting from the device.

I've got a Garmin 201 (ancient I know), but it works great for me.   I've been able today to get it to connect properly with the Upload from Garmin feature, but when I "GET DATA" it is searching the Garmin for data, and it picked up 10 different workouts, Great I thought.   But it did not pick up today's or yesterdays, so I can't figure out what the problem is.

I've also got this unit using Garmin Communicator to talk to GarminConnect, and it picked up the route details with no issue.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, if anything??

Ok -- Solved my previous problem... Can't read.  The workouts did not come in in date order when I was trying to import them to the map.   Issue resolved.

New Issue.   I upgraded to Bronze, because the idea of importing all of my workout data from the Garmin is wonderful.   I've got a new issue now though.

Because I have a 201 (yes, it's ancient)... It only records (so far as I'm can tell) a workout as a run (even though I have displayed the workout as speed.  When I try to import a workout as a bike, it doesn't see the workout, but it sees it fine if I import as a run, lap data, the whole shootin match.

Is there a way that I can import a workout, and have it appear as a Bike, even though garmin transmits the data as a Run?   I know that there is a way with Garmin Connect, to edit, and make it a bike.

Any insight appreciated  --  THANKS!

Thanks, Marmadaddy.  That will be wonderful if it can be 'fixed'

Testing the fix for this now. Here's how we'll be handling it:

Rather than test for a specific sport, we'll just list all workouts on a given date when you click on "Import From Garmin" and you can upload any workout from that day as whatever tri-sport you want. This makes sense to me for a few reasons:

• Different units don't always record the workout as specific sports, such as the Forerunner 201 and Forerunner 50.  I think some Edge models also record everything as "Biking", but people have been known to use them for Running.
• How many workouts are you going to record in a day? Four at most? Enough data is displayed to determine which workout is which.

So, now we'll be able to get around the "I recorded my bike as a run" problem.

Uploading Swims will also be enabled.

Doing final testing now, should be in live in a day or two.

Sounds great Marmadaddy!

If you need help with "testing" this fix, I'll be happy to..   I did notice it did not work when I tried to upload my bike ride on Saturday.

Thanks again!

How's the testing of the fix going?   Getting excited to have it available.

Thanks for all your support!
