Getting StartedTop

What do I get with a Garmin Connect account?

Garmin Connect is a free web service from Garmin that allows customers to store, view and share activities/locations recorded by Garmin fitness and recreational devices. For now, Garmin Connect only supports the Garmin Fitness product line.

Following an activity, Garmin users upload their data and can personalize and categorize each activity. Garmin Connect calculates measurements such as time, distance, speed, and heart rate. Garmin Connect displays this information through charts, illustrations and reports. Each activity stored in a personal online digest and marked as public may be accessed by anyone visiting the site.

How do I register for Garmin Connect?

What devices work at Garmin Connect?

Training PlansTop

What is a training plan?

A training plan is a series of workouts that build upon each other and help you reach your fitness goal. Whether you want to improve your general fitness, run your first 5K or shave minutes off your triathlon PR, your success depends on your training. Our plans are created by professional coaches and include workouts for your primary sport, cross training workouts, rest days and coaching tips. You can add the plans to your Garmin Connect calendar, and send the workouts to your compatible Garmin device.

Where do I find training plans?

Sign in to your free Garmin Connect account, and go to the Explore tab. Choose Training Plans and look through the different plans. You'll see a variety of plans and can choose the one that best matches your current fitness level and future goals.

How do I get a training plan on my calendar?

When you find the training plan you wish to use, you'll be asked to choose either a Start Date or an End Date. After that, select Add to Calendar.

Once you've added a training plan to your calendar, you can view it using the Plan tab and selecting Training Plans. All training plans you've added to your calendar will be visible there, even after you've finished the plan.

How do I decide my start/end dates for my training plan?

When adding a training plan to your calendar, you can choose either a Start Date or an End Date, but not both. For example, if you want to train for a specific race, and you know the race date, enter that as your End Date. Alternately, if you'd prefer to start the plan next Monday and choose a race based on when the plan is done, enter next Monday as the Start Date.

How do I add training plan workouts to my device?

After you have chosen a training plan and added it to your Garmin Connect calendar, you can send every workout in the plan to your device. When signed in to your account, go to the Plan tab and select Calendar. Then select Send to Device.

Please note, cycling workouts will not show on running devices, and running workouts will not show on cycling devices. All workouts will show on multisport devices.

Why don't I see my lap splits when I'm using a training plan workout?

When you're doing a time-based workout (e.g. Long Run-90 minutes), you will not see lap splits at every mile or kilometer. If those splits are important to you, you can choose not to do the Garmin Connect workout and, instead, do a simple, non-scheduled workout on your device using just the Start/Stop buttons.

Why doesn't a workout automatically end when I'm done?

Every training plan workout has a cool down step at the end. The cool down begins as soon as the tough part of the workout is over. This cool down is good for your body, and it gives you a buffer at the end of your workout. When you're done cooling down, press the Lap button on your device and hear the finishing tone that signals the end of your workout. Or, you could press the End button and no tone will sound.

How do I view my weekly totals?: At the bottom of every calendar (week, month or year) you'll see your totals for that time frame. You may select a specific activity type or view totals for all your activities. In the lower right corner of the month-view calendar, check the Weekly Totals box to see a week-by-week breakdown of your time, distance and calories.
How can I send workouts to my device?: In the top right corner of your calendar you'll see a small Send to Device button. This allows you to send every upcoming workout on your calendar to your compatible Garmin device. Your device can store hundreds of workouts, but you may meet its maximum capacity when sending large training plans. If your device is full, you can choose to overwrite workouts or cancel the Send to Device process.
What does the goals section on my calendar show?: In the top left corner of your calendar, you'll see the goals you're working on right now. If you navigate forward or backward on the calendar, you'll still see your current goals.
Do completed training plans stay on my calendar?: Yes, once you schedule a training plan, it will stay on your calendar, so you can look back on it later. You can hide a training plan using the controls on the left. If you have no plan scheduled for a particular month, nothing will show.

Can I enter manual activities not created with a device?: Yes. From the Activities listing:

1. Click the Manual Activities button.
2. Enter the workout/activity details.
3. Select Add More Data to enter more details.
4. Click Save.

What do the different colored tear drop icons on the map mean?

The green tear drop signifies where the activity was started. If you click on it, you'll be taken to the Player view of the activity where you can relive the experience. The red tear drop is where the activity was stopped. The gray tear drop is where a lap marker was recorded during the activity.

How do I control the Privacy of my activity?

You can set the Privacy settings at the top of the Activity Details page by clicking on the lock icon next to the Activity Name. Private activities are only viewable to the activity's owner when signed in to Garmin Connect. Public activities may be viewed by anyone and can be found using Explore. See Default Privacy in Settings for privacy settings for new uploads.

How do I edit my activity information?

You can edit the Activity Name, Activity Type, Event Type, and Description. Just click on the pencil icon next to the Activity Name, make your edits, and click Finish to save.

Note that once you've made edits to your data, you won't be able to revert to the previous version of the data or the original data.

What does the Summary Data description mean?

Activities that are displayed in the original form without any edits made to them are described as "Original." Once the activity owner has changed any summary data listed in the Summary section, the activity will be marked as Edited.

How do I embed my activity on my website?

Make sure your activity is Public. Click on Embed on your Activity Details page. Copy the code that is displayed above the Embed preview and paste the code to your website or blog. Verify that the Embed appears in your site appropriately. Currently, embedded activities are only displayed in English and Statute measurement units.

Can I save how I like to view my Activity Details page?

Garmin Connect remembers your viewing actions. Just sign in to Garmin Connect and whenever you've chosen to minimize certain windows, we'll just show the same windows that you're interested in for every Activity Details page you view thereafter. To change your viewing preference, just maximize or minimize the windows you want and we'll remember how you like to see it.

How are the Time measurements defined at Garmin Connect?

Garmin Connect provides three Time measurements on the Details page:

Time

Time is the recording time reported by the device. For Fitness devices, this should equal the Time value reported on the device. For other devices, this should equal the amount of time elapsed from the actual Start and Finish time of an activity.

Avg Speed/Pace is based off the Time value.

Moving Time

Garmin Connect calculates Moving Time by removing the amount of time when the user is stopped. This is helpful for customers who upload activities with a Garmin device that either don't have AutoPause or have AutoPause turned off. For those who have AutoPause turned on or hit the Stop and Start button in the middle of an activity, the Moving Time should be very close or equal to Time.

Avg Moving Speed/Pace is based off the Moving Time value.

Elapsed Time

Garmin Connect calculates the Elapsed Time by the amount of time elapsed from the actual Start and Finish time of an activity. This is helpful for customers with a Garmin device that have AutoPause turned on or hit the Stop and Start button in the middle of an activity. For those who don't have AutoPause or have that feature turned off on their device, Elapsed time should be very close or equal to Time.

Why don't some activities have a map and route associated with them?

Activities don't have accompanying maps and charts/graphs due to a variety of reasons:

1. The activity may have been recorded indoors (i.e. a gym workout) where GPS tracking is not possible.
2. The activity may have been recorded using a non-GPS device.
3. The activity may have been created without a device altogether (Manual Activity).
4. The activity owner may have uploaded a large history from a device. In this case, older activities on a device have been compressed without any GPS data.

What features can I overlay onto my route in the map area?

You have the ability to see your activity on different map types by clicking on any of the buttons for Map, Satellite, Terrain, and Earth views. The Earth view is a slice of what you'll get from Google Earth. You can also view an overlay of all the photos contributed by the community of Panaramio users by clicking on the More > Photos button. And if you are interested in learning more about the various locations in your activity area, just click on More > Wikipedia and you'll see all the entries contributed by the community of Wikipedia describing that area's features.

What are Laps?

Laps are points that were marked during an activity. A Lap may have been created automatically through the use of the Autolap feature on the device or the activity owner may have pressed the lap button in the middle of the activity. If an activity has more than one lap then you will see those segments on the Laps window. In addition, you can view lap markers on the map by clicking on the Laps check box.

How can I use Laps to benefit me?

You can use laps to break down your activity into logical segments that can help you analyze your progress. For example, you can enable the Autolap feature on your device to measure your performance every mile or kilometer you run or ride. Or you can use laps to mark a specific geographic feature along your route like the midpoint of an out and back course or the location of a water fountain.

What's the benefit of sending an activity to my device?

When you send an activity to a supported device, you can take advantage of the course routing features of your Garmin device. You can follow along the course of an activity using a map on certain devices (Edge 605/705 use color maps, while most other fitness devices use a breadcrumb trail marker). You can also enable the Virtual Partner which will allow you to compete against the downloaded activity's time and try to keep pace. It's motivational and fun at the same time.

What are Elevation Corrections?

Elevation Corrections cross reference the horizontal position (latitude/longitude) provided by the GPS with elevation data that has been acquired by professional surveys. When corrections to elevation data are made, each trackpoint of your activity contains the elevation from the web service, not the elevation provided by your GPS device. Garmin Connect selectively applies corrections to depict a more realistic representation of your elevation experience. Activities recorded on devices without a barometric altimeter are enabled with Elevation Corrections by default. Alternatively, activities recorded on devices with a barometric altimeter generally contain accurate elevation data and therefore Elevation Corrections are disabled by default. For those users who are familiar with the MotionBased Gravity service, this is the same service.

Even after the application of Elevation Corrections on my activity, why does my elevation data seem different than what I had experienced or have seen through other sources?

Elevation Corrections has known limitations for certain geographic features such as bridges and cross country borders where different elevation datasets prevail. Garmin Connect uses a combination of datasets to produce the best elevation corrections possible. Specifically, US coverage comes from the National Elevation Dataset from the USGS, Canada coverage comes from the Centre d'information topographique de Sherbrooke (CIT-S) dataset, and the rest of world data relies on data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) dataset from NASA. Elevation data outside of the US and Canada may not be as accurate.

Why does the Elevation Gain and Elevation Loss data differ on an Edge 305 or Edge 705 from the summary data that appears on my Activity Details page?

For those devices, summary Elevation Gain and Elevation Loss data are calculated by Garmin Connect and subsequently smoothed which is the source of any differences with those device readings.

How do I turn Elevation Corrections on or off?

You can change whether your elevation data is corrected or not by going to your Activity Details page and selecting "Enable" or "Disable" Elevation Corrections.

What data can I view for an "endless" or "stationary" pool swim?

The 910XT is not designed to work in stationary pools. It will not measure distance or pace, however it is possible to use the timer and view your stroke count and stroke rate. To do this, select Open Water Swim mode. Press Enter when the watch is searching for satellites and then select Indoors. Most of the swim metrics will be zero, however you can view your stroke count and stroke rate.

What are goals?: Goals are targets you set to help you achieve a short term objective. For example, you can choose to run 20 miles over the next week and track your progress on Garmin Connect.
What Garmin devices work with goals?: Goals are not device specific. You can log an activity against a goal with any supported device. Some devices, like the Forerunner 310XT/910XT, Forerunner 405/405CX/410, have features that allow you to monitor Goals on the device.
How do I setup Goals and send them to the Forerunner 310XT/910XT or Forerunner 405/405CX/410?: There are 2 ways that goals are transferred to your device:

1. Automated send: after every activity that you upload to Garmin Connect, the Garmin ANT Agent will look for active goals and transfer them to your Forerunner 310XT/910XT or Forerunner 405/405CX/410.

2. Manual send: go to the Active Goals tab and click on Send to Device. A Goals file will be transferred to your Garmin ANT Agent and then wirelessly transferred to your Forerunner 310XT/910XT or Forerunner 405/405CX/410.

Please note that only Goals labeled with an Activity Type of "Any Activity Type" will be transferred to your Forerunner 310XT/910XT or Forerunner 405/405CX/410.
How many Goals can I track on my Forerunner 310XT/910XT or Forerunner 405/405CX/410?: You may track up to 4 goals on your device, 1 goal for each goal type (distance, time, calories, frequency).
What’s the difference between History, Active, and Future goals?: History: goals with start and end dates that have both elapsed.
Future: goals with start dates that have not yet begun.
Active: goals with start dates that have begun but have not yet ended. Active goals are the ones you’ll be tracking your current progress against as you run or bike.
When does an activity apply toward my goal?: An activity has to meet the set criteria. Activities that you classify as Trail Running apply toward Goals set for Trail Running. The start date and time of that activity must fall within the start and end dates of the Goal.
How do I edit a Goal that I’ve already created?: 1. Go to Goals page.
2. Click the Future goals tab.
3. Hover over a particular field and click to edit. The goal name, the goal target, start date, and the privacy settings are all editable fields.

If you want to change the Goal Type or Measured Over period, we recommend deleting that goal and creating a different goal with your preferred criteria.
Why can’t I edit an Active or History goal?: Once a goal has become active or has elapsed, you will not be able to amend any details of that goal. You can, however, delete any goal.
When creating a goal, what do the different “Measure over” periods mean?: 7 days: you have seven days from the start date to log activity against your goal.
30 days: a goal will be tracked for thirty days from the start date.
Calendar month: a goal which is tracked over an entire calendar month, e.g. during February. Calendar month goals always start on the first day of any future month and always end on the last day of that month.

How do I get my Power data uploaded to Garmin Connect?: As long as you have the Edge 800, Edge 705, Edge 500, Forerunner 910XT or Forerunner 310XT/ paired with a compatible power meter, you should be able to get Power data included with your activity during each upload.
What Power meters work with Garmin devices?: Garmin devices and Garmin Connect are compatible with all power meters that use ANT+ wireless technology, including the Vector pedal-based power meter.
Can I customize my Power data on Garmin Connect?: Yes, you can customize how your power data is displayed in power zones. Just go to your Settings, select Training Zones, and then select Cycling. You have the option to define power ranges for seven zones according to levels you find meaningful or have obtained during performance testing.

How do I create an Advanced Workout?: Currently this feature is is not available to Garmin Connect. You will need to utilize this feature in Garmin's Training Center if you would like to create Advanced Workouts.

When viewing an activity on the Player, why doesn't the Player display all the data in my activity?: You're likely viewing an activity that was recorded over a long period of time with a lot of data. In the interest of loading the Player quickly, we've reduced the amount of trackpoint data that the Player processes and therefore the route may appear to take shortcuts.
Why does the current time (on the left side of the progress bar) sometimes exceed the total time (on the right side of the progress bar)?: The current time displays the elapsed time of trackpoints recorded along your activity. This would include moments when you pressed stop on your device or your device stopped recording in response to the absence of movement (if you had enabled the auto-pause feature). The total time figure, however, displays the amount of time that your device was actually recording during your activity. Therefore, if the device had stopped recording at any point, you will see that reflected in the time difference.

ExploreTop

Why don't I see an Activity in Explore?

Explore only displays activities that benefit the community. The following criteria are required for an activity to display in Explore:

It is a GPS activity.
Activity Type is categorized (e.g. Trail Running).
The activity has an Activity Name (e.g. Tahoe Rim Trail).
The activity is Public.

Why do I see Private Activities in Explore?

If you are signed in, your Private Activities are displayed in Explore. No one else can see these Activities, only you.

Where can I find information and answers on operating my Garmin Fitness device?: You can find links to Owner's Manuals for supported Garmin devices here. You can also obtain additional help from the community of Garmin users on the Garmin Forum, or by contacting Garmin Support US / Europe .
Why is an activity that I've sent to my Outdoor device (GPX) missing some trackpoints?: The Outdoor device has a trackpoint limit for activities that are sent as a Track. As a result, the device has truncated the activity to its limit.

How are averages calculated in Reports?: The following fields are calculated via arithmetic mean ignoring any activities where the value being reported is null:

Avg Distance
Avg Time
Avg Elevation Gain
Avg Elevation Loss

The following fields are calculated via weighted mean based on time ignoring any activities where the value being reported is null:

Avg Speed
Avg HR
Avg Run Cadence
Avg Bike Cadence
Avg Power

For example, a longer activity based on time will have greater influence on the above values than one shorter in time.
What does the term "Max Avg" mean?: This provides the maximum or best value of all of the average values for a given field in a time period. For example, if you see a Max Avg HR of 165 bpm, that means that one of your activities reported an Avg HR of 165 which is the highest Avg HR value within that time period.
Where is Pace in Reports?: Pace is currently not supported in Reports. We plan to implement pace shortly.

What is RSS?: RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's a standard way for publishers to syndicate content and for users to get updates of content whenever updates are made for a specific topic. Garmin Connect is using RSS to help get the word out for all the great activities in which you and other Garmin users are engaging.
Why should I subscribe to Garmin Connect RSS feeds?: If you maintain your own blog, you can add an RSS widget that updates on your blog whenever you upload a public activity to Garmin Connect. This way all your friends and family can see all the cool runs or rides you've been doing. Just go to the RSS feeds from your Dashboard and add the Garmin Connect RSS feed url to your blog's RSS widget.
How do I get started with RSS feeds?: Choose an RSS feed reader from the many that are out there. Web based feed readers will simply ask that you register to their websites. There are also a variety of downloadable RSS feed applications that you can install on your computer. When ready:

1. Click on the RSS symbol on your Dashboard page.
2. Select the RSS feed reader that you want to use to view the feed updates.
3. Add the Garmin Connect feed url to your feed reader. Your RSS reader will begin to publish updates to you when there's something new to check out on Garmin Connect that fits your interest.

Why doesn't the Average Pace on my Personal Record match the Average Pace on my activity?: Garmin Connect determines Personal Records at exact distances: 5 km, 10 km, Half Marathon and Marathon. When you cover the exact distance faster than ever before, a Personal Record for speed is recorded.

Often, the total distance of your activity is a little longer than a predetermined Personal Record distance. For example, when you run a Half Marathon, you don't usually run the course exactly how it was measured. At the end, your activity total may be 13.4 miles. However, the Half Marathon Personal Record stops measuring at exactly 13.1 miles. Because the distance of the Personal Record is slightly less than the distance of your total activity, the Average Pace will also be different.

What is my Profile Page?: Your Garmin Connect Profile Page lets you tell others who you are and what you are doing. Go to Settings>Connect Profile to personalize your profile with your picture, your sport, your location and dozens more details about yourself. Most of this information is optional, but, if you fill it in, it will display. Your privacy settings control what personal information and activities can be seen and who can see them.
Who can see my Profile Page and Activities?: In Settings>Privacy Settings you can determine who can see your profile and who can see your activities. Your choices are Only Me, My Connections and Everyone.
What does it mean to Connect with someone?: When you find a friend, foe or pro on Garmin Connect, you can connect with him or her. Once a connection is established, you can easily see your connection's activities, and he or she can see yours. It's a great way to get encouragement and find out what others are up to.
Who can see my group comments?: Comments you make in a group, stay in the group. This means if a fellow group member uses the group page to tease you about bonking on yesterday's long ride, your connections who are not in the group will not see it.

Do I have map choices for seeing my activities and creating new courses?: You can select from a variety of map providers, including Google, Bing and OpenStreetMap. Different maps have different strengths and weaknesses, so we like to give you a choice.
What makes OpenStreetMap different?: Courses created with OpenStreetMap are always public, available for the entire Garmin Connect community to view and use. It is an open source map where all data is anonymously available to the public. Your personal information is not shared.
Why can't I make my course Private when using OpenStreetMap?: Because OpenStreetMap is open source, all courses must remain Public. If you need to create a Private course, you can use Bing or Google maps.
Why can't I see a satellite view with OpenStreetMap?: OpenStreetMap currently supports detailed satellite views only in the United States.
What is a heat map?: When you're exploring courses and activities or creating a new course, you can use a heat map overlay to see the most popular locations for running or cycling in a particular city. This helps you find a new spot to work out or a good place to meet up with friends.
Where can I see heat maps?: Heat maps will be available first in the U.S. cities with the most Garmin Connect users, but we'll continue rolling out more cities around the globe.
Why can't I see heat maps when I use OpenStreetMap?: We use custom tile overlays to present the heat maps, the current MapQuest OSM API does not support this. You can contact MapQuest to encourage them to add "support for custom tile overlays."

How do I find a group to join?: If you'd like to make your workouts more social, try finding a group. Just sign in and go to the Explore tab, then choose Groups. Search for a keyword, and you'll see all the groups with that word in the name.
Why aren't my activities showing up in my group?: When you join a group or start making connections, be sure to adjust your activity and profile privacy settings. If all your activities are set to Private, they won't show up anywhere.
Who can see my comments?: Comments you make in a group, stay in the group. This means if a fellow group member uses the group page to tease you about bonking on yesterday's long ride, your connections who are not in the group will not see it.
Who can create a group?: Any Garmin Connect user can create a group. However, if your existing group has a coach or leader, that person is generally the best one to create the group.
What's the difference between a group owner and a group administrator?: Each group can have only one owner. Usually, the owner is the person who first creates the group; however, ownership can be transferred if the group creator wants to pass on the responsibility. The owner is the only person who can delete a group.

Groups can have multiple administrators, assigned either by the owner or an existing administrator. Administrators can add events, courses, notifications and other information to the group page. They can approve membership requests, too.
How do I edit group settings?: If you are a group owner or administrator, you can change your group settings by going to the Group page and using the Admin button. From the dropdown list, choose Edit Group Settings. Alternatively, you can select your display name in the top right corner, choose Settings, then select the Groups tab.
Who can see what's posted on my group page?: Group administrators or owners can adjust the privacy of a group to best fit the group's needs. Use the group settings to select who can see the group: Everyone or Only Group Members.
