Taking workouts outdoor with Garmin Edge

Equipment
1

I love the idea of being able to take the workouts oudoors and I know we can now do this on ELEMNT computers but I have recently (about a year ago) invested a significant chunk in a Garmin Edge (I also use a Fenix watch and have for years).
Are there any plans to allow SYSTM members who have a long standing investment in Garmin to upload outdoor workouts to their Garmin devices or are we being compelled to buy Wahoo ELEMNT to get this facility.

Brilliant, thanks.
I saw that previously but also saw that the thread had been deleted.
Glad to see this was reconsidered.
I will take a look.
Thank you so much :grinning:

I’d also add that it has been previously stated their intent is to be an open platform, but that doesn’t mean Garmin will work with them to have workouts directly pulled into Connect.

I believe the longer-term plan is to support pushing workouts to non-Wahoo devices. No idea of the timeline for this though. See this link for another similar comment.

Hi JohnK… Tried using but not sure how to… Is the Firefox extension for the phone? Went onto the Systm on phone but am not getting an extra button to save as a fit workout… Must be doing something wrong…can you help please regards tim

@Timothy1961 I don’t know if it works on the mobile version of Firefox. On the desktop version you just install the add-on and go to the web version of SYSTM: SYSTM Web

It adds a download button to the workouts…

Hopefully that will work for you. If you’re still struggling it may be worth messaging @jessicat who kindly wrote the extension for the community.

There is currently no support for Firefox on Android, as I haven’t taken the time to test that it works, and it’s a restricted environment compared to desktop browsers. Also the UI may differ, which could affect the extension’s ability to function correctly.

Thats great. What a lucky find! Now I can ride workouts from SYSTM on RGT! :slightly_smiling_face:

Note from my experience, make sure you have the outdoor workout highlighted - this is simpler with less steps. Garmin has a workout limit of 50 steps in a workout - import fails if there are more than this.

I export the .fit workout, then import to intervals.icu which auto syncs over to Garmin. That way I can predict my workload and get workouts onto my device.

Unfortunately, the fit I download isn’t recognized by Garmin Connect, nor by intervals.icu
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Jessica and thanks for the extension.
It works well in downloading the fit file. However, This file si not recognized by Garmin Connect. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for the Help.
