Improve elevation performance when GPS is turned off. I use Strava, the old Garmin Connect and Ridewithgps regularly.

Improve elevation auto-calibration at power up and between activities.

Improvements to reduce spurious changes in elevation.

If you want further help here, then I and others need to know a few things:ġ) are you using the new Garmin Connect, or the old (classic) Garmin Connect?Ģ) did you install Garmin Express, if so what version is it?ģ) If you installed Garmin Express, was Garmin Communicator installed afterwards? I ask this because if you are using the new Garmin Connect, Garmin Communicator is not necessary and although I don't know for certain, installing it after installing Garmin Express might screw something up.Ĥ) are you using the Garmin USB cable that came with your device? Not all usb cables are created equal, believe it or not.This update seems to deal with improvements to Elevation. There is no allowance on GC to export the file so it can be manually installed on the device.Ī short term solution would be to simply get one of the other club members that have a Garmin Edge device to try using their PC/Mac to put the course on your Edge Touring. Unfortunately that is with the 'Send to device' function. Garmin Connect only provides one way to get courses from GC to the device. I know it's a pain to call them as you sometimes have long wait times, but once you get them on the phone they are stuck with you till you end the call.Īs for sending courses from Garmin Connect to your edge. You can call Garmin Support and work with a support rep till your issue is resolved.
