New Garmin Edge 1000

[Hbrown]

I just printed out the instructions for the segment builder. I messed up big time last night. I cant find where I can get the file from on connect. I pasted in one segment and your program found it. I exported it to my computer (downloaded). and here it sits. where on connect can I put it to download it to my 1000. It seems like everything on connect is hidden. I can't find anything!

I will try again with instructions in hand. I just can't find what I need on connect. Can you give me a tutorial for using connect, to get the segment on my Garmin. Thanks

and of course I will donate on Paypal.

This is what I was talking about

It will be interesting if Garmin allow you to see Strava segments on it's units. Probably a Garmin 1001

This is interesting.

I uploaded tonight's ride to Strava from my Garmin 800 all as normal.

Now I've just logged into Garmin Connect which is giving me a new interface that I haven't seen before. I actually really like it.
Anyway I didn't have the 800 attached at the time as I had already uploaded to Strava but Garmin Connect was showing me tonight's ride with stats etc.

I has a look at the Segments section but it was only showing one section on my ride but it did say
"We're currently experiencing a high volume of segment activity. It may take a few days to process your activity and match it to the segments you crossed"

So Garmin Connect has automatically uploaded my ride from Strava tonight and the message above seems to suggest they might also be transferring segments from Strava??

Anyone else experienced this?

^ sträva segments on garmin.... nope that is not what this press release is talking about at all. Garmin showing strava segments is admitting defeat... they are not doing that so soon after launching their own segments. I wish they would cave though.

Garmin and Strava have begun collaborating! Now all rides posted on Garmin Connect will sync to Strava.

Yes and hopefully it wont be long before an option for segments. If Garmin would allow this I think it would have a big upturn in sales of the 1000

No it was the first bit I was talking about re uploading to Strava and it auto appearing on Garmin.

I know segments haven't been but also hoping they see the light and allow this. Why not it must be a win, win for both?

I agree if wish Garmin would cave in and team up with strava for segments.. that would be awesome. Garmin segments is not user friendly at all.. I guess the auto API is a start in the right direction.

It would be nice to just make a few clicks and have a Strava segment upload to your 1000. I look forward to this day! Just speaking for myself, I would ride constantly trying to get Kom's, which means I would be riding constantly! My fitness level would be so much better. My life and health would be better also.

We all need reasons to ride. Mine would be going after KOM's!

Now for the money! Garmin sales would go through the roof! Pro's, amatures, (God I can't spell), seasoned cyclists, everyone would want this platform. Imagine instant notification of your status! On all of the Major sites, all leading back to Garmin! Garmin would dominate!

Pro's are Pro's for one reason, at one time they all wanted to win! KOM's are another form of trophies! There is a guy that has over 900 KOM's, and a lady that has over 1300 KOM's.

Bring back competitevness (man I need a thesauras)! Garmin you will make a fortune! And STRAVA will be even Larger if that was even possible! Please allow Strava segments to directly download to our 1000's.

love it

It's so obvious that Garmin would sell a hell of a lot more units if they allowed this and you would hope they are currently working with Strava to achieve this.

Fingers crossed it sooner rather than later.

It's the one thing that would make me upgrade from my current edge 800 and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one

[teslasports]

The Garmin Edge 1000 looks like a good effort at upgrading from the 800 / 810, but I'll still be sticking with my 800. It does all I want on a bike.

yes, at first, i thought too expensive.. but now available for the previous price of the 810... 389 € and 459€ in bundle

welcome to the edge 1000 !!!

Was having trouble shifting into small cog today not all the time some times. I went into adjustment mode and this poped up on my 1000. Pretty cool.

Do you have eww01?

[coppercook62]

Yes
