How to upload to Garmin connect?

Post by robing »

Since switching to wahoo - which I love by the way - I have just one problem. And that is how to add my rides to Garmin connect. I had 8 years worth of rides there so I want to continue. However Garmin doesn't allow 3rd party apps to upload direct to connect.

I thought I had solved it by manually importing the files saved from wahoo from Dropbox. These are .fit files. It all seems fine at first, but when you go back after some time and look at your ride, the route has disappeared and the map just shows a straight line connecting A to B! Anyone got any ideas?

Garmin to Strava then sync them to a Wahoo.Or Wahoo to Strava to Garmin.
Assuming you have Strava of course.That’s what I did but my Garmin Connect account still saves them even though I no longer use it.

I have Strava but I still like Garmin connect as it's only got my bike rides whereas strava has all my activities like running, gym, swim etc.
It seems to have worked, don't know why I didn't think of this before. Thanks!
