dasilvarsa Posted July 23, 2020 Share You can still share on Strava by Uploading the .FIT or .GPX File manually. It's been Down the Whole Day Edited July 23, 2020 by dasilvarsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted July 23, 2020 Share Garmin connect is the shittest app in all the world.. It's merely a conduit to get your activities into other apps.... Except for today DieselnDust, Harryn, MDJ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kom Posted July 23, 2020 Share Looks like they were hit with a ransomware attack. This might take a while longer, their call centers are down too. This is going to have a huge knock on effect for Strava, vitality, training peaks when all our devices come online ... this is a real pandemic! https://www.zdnet.com/article/garmin-services-and-production-go-down-after-ransomware-attack/ Rocket-Boy and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted July 23, 2020 Share For those of us with non-Garmin units, yes. Ek het het n Polar .... but Garmin did not even have the decency to let me know in advance that I should rather leave the 520 and 130 on charge ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garmin Connect is more than I need for my data. I do have Strava, but hardly use it, as Connect is good enough for me. Even tried their map making function, does the job. As for "user friendly" ... it all boils down to wjat you are used to. Going from Polar to Garmin I really missed the Polar app .... applied my mind and figured out where the functions are and how to use it.

Go back... Go to the next person.. Look at that activity Gear management is also pretty useless Haven't looked if you can setup private segments to keep track of your fitness/progress My point is.. It's very clumsy MDJ, DieselnDust and ChrisF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very clumsy GC is about ME. And I like that. I can see all my stats, efforts, numbers etc, without being bombarded with 'fred joined cycle 100km in july' challenge. It is nowhere near as social as Strava, but I doubt that was their intention anyway. Strava got good traction as the not so serious athletes could record their activities without needing a dedicated device. Had strava not allowed this feature, I doubt it would be as popular today. As prices of devices fall, fewer people make use of Strava to record activities, but they have the user bases, so their popularity has a great foundation to grow on MBMtbGirl, ChrisF, Stockman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 23, 2020 Share Seems they been hacked https://www.reddit.com/r/kansascity/comments/hwg8vt/garmin_hacked/I received an email notification of an attempted login to my account.

Harryn Posted July 23, 2020 Share They are still down. if its true that they have been hacked, it is bad form that they have a banner up depicting that they are down for maintenance. And if that’s true, their maintenance guys are freaking slow. Either way, they should be transparent. We have paid for our multiple devices, and still we are the product. And if our data has indeed been compromised, this is a lot more serious than 300 vitality points, or no strava kudos today. Aside from login data, Connect knows where everyone lives, where we ride, run, holiday etc. When they come back up, Strave is gonna be bombarded.

Reme Le Hane Posted July 24, 2020 Share They are down for a multi day maintenance window to deal with a ransom ware attack. You will be able to sync again in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
