Garmin 810

Just finished my first ride with the 810 and have a few issues I want to post.
I’ll submit to Garmin support as well and hopefully we’ll get them sorted out.

  1. Auto-Upload did NOT work after my Live Tracking session today. I had to manually upload to Garmin Connect using the Communicator plug-in after the ride. Yes- I have all the settings checked off correctly.
  2. I had sent the Live Track to a friend who told me my average speed was 12 mph! I beg to differ … more like 20 mph. I am trying to confirm that with him and find out what else he saw. My upload shows my closer to 20 mph average speed.
  3. Would be nice to be able to go back and review my Live Track history. I sent the Live Track to myself as well but after the ride all it says is that it has expired. I suppose Garmin Connect has essentially the same thing. Would have been cool to go back and see what others had seen though.
  4. On the device, after my ride, when I went into the FOLDER> Rides> Last Ride … and the device went to “Load Last Ride”, my device went into a spontaneous “reset loop”. That’s the best I can describe it. The screen continually flashed and beeped until I powered it off. The happened twice and then I just decided to stop trying for fear of losing my ride data.
  5. When I went into Courses within Garmin Connect Mobile (on iPhone), all it says (after trying to load the courses) is: error downloading courses. Try again.
    That’s all I have so far. I’m optimistic as a long time Garmin supporter so let’s see what happens. I’ll post any other future findings here and on Garmin Support as well.
    Thanks,

While you’re at it, tell them to add Strava upload too. They forgot that feature.
