Garmin - help re plug in
« on: 06 July, 2014, 03:04:34 pm »
Hi

I recently purchased a garmin edge 200 and in the whole I am happy with it.
However everytime I try to upload my routes it asked me to download the plug in.  I have now done this about ten times!  I am saving as well as running the plug in.  I am having further problems regarding transferring my data to runkeeper.... but I'll come back once I hopefully get the plug in issue sorted! 

Can anyone tell me why this is?  My system is compatible, I am running on ie7 via Microsoft.

Please help me before I crack up!
 :P

Are you trying to upload via the Garmin Connect website? Garmin in their wisdom have now decided that this method is outdated and you need to use a program called Garmin Express (which is a a free download)

I've tried to connect my Garmin 305 to Garmin Express and it wants me to connect an ANT stick. I have got an ANT stick! >:(

I can't get a Garmin Edge 205 to work with Garmin Express either. I don't think the old generation of Garmins are compatible with Garmin Express but if you find out from Garmin how to do it then please share with us.
