Yeah. I empty my spam multiple times a day. Nothing there from RGT, unfortunately.
Minions!
With Stravaās price increase I am now only using Garmin Connect to upload rides. I am also currently shopping for a training platform and would have signed back up with Wahoo EXCEPT for the fact that RGT doesnāt play nice with Garmin Connect.
I actually prefer your product to TR & Zwift, but will likely sign up for TR or Zwift due to the integration issue. I canāt be the only one for whom this is a deciding factor. Hopefully it gets sorted soon and you can start getting more folks who dumped Strava onto your platform
I donāt know what my problem was, but Iām now getting my emails from RGT with my ride files. Has worked the past 3 weekends, so Iāve been able to download my fit file and upload them to Garmin Connect.
Would really be preferably if I could just do it either automatically thru RGT or even with a direct upload from SYSTM since the RGT rides show up in our SYSTM calendars.
From the IndieVelo app in the Hub āconnected appsā option:
āGarmin are not currently accepting new connections to automatically upload FIT files to Garmin Connectā
So this may well not be Wahooās fault.
I agree it is annoying though.
Iāve been uploading my RGT rides to Garmin manually for ages but it never accounts for them in its anystics. Has that changed recently?
Is this one of those situations where you need to upload it, turn on your head unit and let it process the upload and then refresh the app and itāll do the analysis deal? I know when I upload systm or zwift rides I have to let the ride upload into Garmin connect on my phone, then have my phone sync to the headunit and then the headunit will tell my phone to tell me that Iām unproductive. Occasionally Iāll get a maintaining, but usually itās unproductive.
It hasnāt changed. From what I can tell Garmin looks at the device/software information in the FIT file and if it is on a specific allowed list then it calculates and includes it in training status. Amusingly you can modify the FIT file using FIT File Tools Device Changer changing it to a Garmin device, upload it in Garmin Connect manually, and itāll calculate and include.
To touch on the IndieVelo app comment - support for this is a two way street. We can all want Wahoo to do this, but Garmin has to allow it. If Garmin doesnāt then thereās nothing Wahoo can do. Garmin is the gatekeeper, and as of right now donāt appear to be allowing anyone else. They want you on Garmin devices, and a select set of software.
Sort of except RGT remains excluded from analytics and it will not process the file on your head unit. See post above this.
The easiest way around these limitations with RGT and Garmin Connect is to dual record the ride. I bluetooth my trainer to the RGT app, and at the same time record the workout on my Tactix 7 watch pairing through Ant+. This ensures I get all the Garmin Connect analytics applied to the ride, including the Training Effect.
Yes. Let the apps fight it out between themselves
Well Iāve learned something new today. I didnāt know there was an exclusion list, might explain a couple odd things that I just chalked up āeh technologyā.
Two apps in! One app out!
Iām liking the idea of a duel hahahaha. I do dual record buy it is a PITA
I also dual record using my Garmin FR920XT watch (old but rock solid).
Which part of dual recording do you find a PITA? Iāll admit Iām not really into all the Connect analytics and I just use the watch to ensure the riding activities are included in the Garmin monthly challenges.
The remembering to do it part
Funny part is that you need power. Thus you need to edit the file changing the device if you are riding with virtual power.
Is there any update on this?
The inconsistencies between RGT and SYTEM are getting more than a little bit irritating. Itās either one technology platform or it isnāt. Please just bring it into on app that has identical integration with third parties.
No change. To be totally blunt, I would never expect it to happen unless Garmin changes their philosophy on allowing apps.
Concurrā¦it is 100% a Garmin issue. They need ti allow the upload. Everything on the RGT side used to work, then Garmin made a tweak to drop some apps
Itās interesting that Garmin wirkd fantastic wirh Garmin. Itās time we get Garmin to fix RGT.
