The New Garmin Connect

[Wez-O]

I just get "Your system does not support Garmin Express."[1]

 

My system does support Strava, though.

 

[1] Garmin are allergic to Linux, even though they actually use it in some of their devices.

Yeah, I'm receiving the same error!

"O look, I just won a Garmin Connect king of the mountain segment"... SAID NO ONE, EVER!!!

Garmin makes awesome hardware, but their software sucks!!! Big time.

The old and new site is terrible - slow & buggy.

Even the software (firmware) running on the hardware is not great. 

There are known problems (for example on the Forerunner 405 series); like battery life reporting and they cannot seam to fix it - yet when the device is "broken" (because of this) they charge you R1,200 for a replacement unit.  Happened to me twice!!

 

I love my garmins (Edge 500 & Forerunner 610), but they need to spend much more time, money & effort on proper software development.
