Automatically synchronize your rides from Garmin Connect to Ride with GPS.

Synchronizing with Garmin Connect is a one-way process. It will take rides from your device, synchronize it to Garmin Connect, then transfer it over to Ride with GPS.

The first time you sync a device with Garmin Express, the service will automatically retrieve the last 30 days of activities from Garmin Connect (including everything that is not a bike ride). There is code in place to eliminate any duplicates between Ride with GPS and Garmin Connect, but if you have modified the rides, the duplicate rides will appear.

Your 30-day history will not sync immediately. It may take a few days to see your 30-days of activity history synced from Garmin Connect.

FAQ

Garmin Connect Turn Run Into Course

I have more than 30 days of history on Garmin Connect, how can I get my entire history?

Garmin will only feed us the last 30 days of activity. If you wish to get beyond the last 30 days of historical data, you will need to use a third-party service.

But isn’t web support for Garmin Express and Garmin Communicator going away?

No. Garmin Communicator is a web browser plugin that is no longer supported. Garmin Express is a stand-alone app that is continually upgraded and allows your Garmin device to sync to and from connect.garmin.com. Garmin Express is not going away any time soon.

Recommendations for making sure my data is still secure?

If your Garmin Connect activities are set to Private, then they will get synced to Ride with GPS as Private even if your Ride with GPS default privacy is set to Public. We will always take the most restrictive approach to your ride data when syncing. Any Privacy Zones that you have set up prior or after syncing your data will be applied to your rides.
