Garmin, you still have time - open the wallets, invest in software development, invest in UX, and move up. But it’s just a question of time before the pain of moving gets outgrown by the beauty of getting away. Its advantage is that it’s filled with our data, which is tough and cumbersome to move, so that’s the only moat. It has an outdated interface, poor UX, and it just can’t compete with other platforms.

Fenix is a great device, but Garmin Connect is an awful service. Imagine if you take away your Garmin device, and look at Garmin Connect vs other services – would you ever use it?Īnd that worries me. For as long as they’ll be competing with Polar, Suunto, and the other gear guys, they’ll be dying a slow death, waiting for the Apple train to run them over. If they’d be smart enough to figure that out, they’d invest more into software development, maybe acquire someone like TrainingPeaks, to get more professionals, and Strava or Endomondo to get more lifestyle athletes. Sexier, better looking, more attractive, fresh providers are whizzing past them left and right.įrom my perspective, the biggest error of this company seems to be that they consider themselves a hardware/device company, while they are - or should be - a software services company that happens to create devices that collect the data. Garmin is like Evernote - they fell asleep. I wrote about this on my blog, here's an excerpt: Not only because of the outage, but because I'm not sure they understand the business they're in, and have the right business model to stay future-proof (read: Apple/Google/Amazon-resistant). I’ve use my tablet to create routes when I’ve been away from a PC, and now it’s easy to sync them across to my Edge 1000.I've been a Garmin user for nearly a decade, so they hold thousands of kilometers of my running data. Although you can using the desktop version of Strava on your smartphone or tablet. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any way to create routes in the mobile app itself.

The route will also now be saved as a course for you to follow any time in the future.

The application needs to be installed via Garmin Connect on your smartphone and will work with most recent units: the Garmin Edge 520, 820, 1000 and the new 1030, plus of course any newer models. Strava has come to the rescue creating an IQ app called Strava Routes, that was released last week. This isn’t too bad if you have a computer to hand, but without one it was next to impossible to get that Strava route to your Garmin device. This would then be imported as a course when you next turned on the device.

Previously you had to export the Strava route as a gpx file, connect your Garmin unit physically to a computer via USB, and then copy the gpx file into the newfiles folder on your Edge unit. This was disappointing since Strava is very good for creating interesting routes, exploiting its colossal database of popular segments. Up until a few days ago, transferring a route created in Strava to your Garmin Edge cycle computer was a painful task.
