So. I've not used my Garmin 800/Road bike since last autumn (Canadian winters). Did my first ride worth recording at the weekend.
It seems since I last used it, Strava have added syncing to Garmin Connect, and stopped browser support for Communicator, to directly sync from the device in the browser.
I just spent 30 minutes installing the new Garmin Express, upgrading the firmware, setting up the account, syncing to GC, and finally got the Strava/GC sync setup. But then got impatient, and just uploaded the .FIT file directly.
I understand in theory, I can just plug in my Garmin, it will get automatically synced to GC, then from there to Strava. But given that I probably only will have a few activities a week, is it really worth it all, rather than manually uploading?
Are there any issues with the sync (will it select the right activity type, etc). And I don't really want all my data on yet another site.
Opinions?
