Edge 25 issues
Hi all,
Just got my new Edge 25 and it's about to go back to the shop. Files conversions, third party software...aagghh!!!
I've used Garmin connect to plot routes and it's cak. It misses out entire junctions etc. So, created a few in 'Ride with GPS'. Exported as GPX then converted to .fit using GPSies. Copied the .fit in to 'Garmin/new files' and .......bugger all. Tried exactly the same on my mate's Edge 20 and , hey, it worked fine.
I had Bluetooth switched off just in case the sync was wiping it so can't understand why it doesn't work
Please help!!

I came home today with a Garmin 25 and I am returning it also. It doesn't stay synced and now can't get it to sync. I did some research. Seems to be an ongoing problem with these units. I don't know yet, with what I will replace it. I need something with Ant+ to sync up with Zwift. I want it to track miles, speed, and cadence and want that to happen inside and outside.
I put far more miles on my trainer (Smart Trainer Using Zwift), than I do outside so working inside is essential. I am going to start a thread seeking advice. Do you plan to get another Garmin 25 or are you going for something else?

Yes mate,
I found this..
https://ridewithgps.zendesk.com/hc/e...Garmin-Edge-25
It doesn't warn you of every single turn but follow the line and you'll be ok. I used it 2 days ago for a 100 mile planned loop of Dartmoor and it got us there and back.
Good luck
