Garmin and SportTracks

[capeofstorms]

Created a power workout and tried to expot it to the Garmin. Go to workouts and it doesn't appear there.

 

Any advice?

Which Garmin and how did you export it?

 

On some Garmins, you have to manually export the file to the activities directory on the Edge, rather than export it directly. I can't remember the exact commands - will have to check at home later.

Hi Minion,

 

OK through trial and error I figured it out. The Garmin fitness plugin for Sporttracks exports the file to a folder called new files on the Edge 500. Don't know why. Had to manually copy it to the workouts folder.

 

Also I had to delete the other categories like IDT, road that I had setup in Sporttracks. Somehow it only wanted to look at the category cycling.

The trick is to use 'Export to File' and manually browse to the location, rather than 'Export to Device'. You might need to specifically select the workouts you want to export and then do 'Export Selected' instead of 'Export All'. That way you can retain the categories in ST.
