Garmin doesn't want to talk to WKO

david ware

I must admit I am new to Garmin watches.  I have no trouble with the 705 because it downloads to a document.  My watch, however, goes to Garmin Connect.  I can upload from GC to Training Peaks but the data does not come thru.  I do not know how to bulk upload, if even ossible, from basic TP to WKO, so do not know if that would work. I have not figured out how to go directly from GC to WKo so I can get the data, TSS, etc?  What do others do?  Thanks

Which Garmin watch are you working with?

With my old computer (just replaced last month), whenever I plugged my 305 into the cradle, Garmin training center (GTC) would start up and it would upload the latest workouts - automagically. I'd then open WKO2.2 and download the workouts to it, via the device agent.

With my new computer, I didn't even install GTC, and instead open WKO3.0 and use device agent to open/save the files directly from the 305.

My point is, is that WKO should recognize most, if not all, Garmin devices, on its own. That GTC auto-start thing bugged the heck outta me.

I have the FR60. It downloads via Garmin AntAgent directly into Garmin Connect.

I run with a Garmin 405. It uploads automatically into Garmin Training Center. I then export that file to my desk top and drag and drop into WKO+. It is an extra step but I do take a bit of comfort in knowing that my run data is stored in two locations.

I do what Al O does

Al x 3. Download, then export, then drag/drop into WKO.

WKO may not talk to Garmin but it is a very simple import directly into Device Agent.

Device: Garmin Forerunner 3xx
Browse: TreeMapper (the name I gave the device)
Open Files | C:Documents and SettingsStevenApplication DataGARMINDevices3643100456History (it will remember this location)
Select you file | OK | Save

I have a 310, and when i go to device agent it automatically looks in the directory that the ant agent stored it. Probably if you do it a couple of times the device agent will remember

I created a shortcut on my desktop directly to the Garmin history folder (C:Documents and SettingsKevinApplication DataGARMINDevicesXXXXXXXXXHistory - where XXXXXXX is the device number). The ANT agent puts a copy of the file here when you transfer to GC or GTC. There is no need to export, just open the folder and select the files you want. Drag that file(s) onto WKO+ when it is open. When you release the mouse button the import pop-up comes up, Click OK and jobs done.

P.S. If you are using Windows 7 the path is different, something like:  "C:UsersuserAppDataRoamingGARMINDevicesXXXXXXHistory"

I don't use GTC but my 405 automatically downloads to GTC via AntAgent anyway. Once that download is complete I can open Device Agent and directly pull that downloaded file into WKO - DA knows where to look for the file.

Joel, thanks for the tip. I tried your method and things worked great. It is even easier than exporting and dragging and dropping.

Thanks Joel.  That works perfectly with the FR60 as well.
