Uploading to Garmin Connect has been fixed in Sportablet 6.3 / Uploader for Garmin 5.4. I've just pushed those versions to Google Play, so it may take a few hours before you get them.
Two important notes:
- quite a people are still having problems uploading to Garmin Connect from their PC. Just check the garmin connect forums or their facebook page. Some have problems with altitude charts not showing up. Some have issues with altitude correction being enabled when it shouldn't (I've seen this myself). Some have problems with valid files being rejected. If you run into similar problems using my app, please understand that I have no control over that. I'm sending the exact same data I was sending before, just with a slightly different envelope (so to speak).
- Garmin does not have an official API to upload data to garmin connect. Things can break. When they do, I'll try to fix them, but no, writing angry emails, downrating the app, and general nastiness are not going to speed things up (quite the opposite).
The last few days have been somewhat intoxicating. I never got so much hate; thankfully, it was at least partially compensated by some of you guys having nice words for the apps (thanks). Still, it is rather obvious that these apps are bringing me in a place I don't want to be. I started this as the guy making the app nobody wanted to write. Not Garmin, not Strava, not Endomondo, not Runkeeper, not Training Peaks, not SportTracks, not Runtastic, no indie, nobody. I'm ending up as the bad guy who stole your money, your data, your happiness, your trust in mankind, your chance to be a world champion if you could have just uploaded those !@#$ data. I'm sure there is a lesson to be learnt there : )
