The Uploader for Garmin

The Uploader for Garmin provides the essential features implemented in Sportablet:
  • connect to your Garmin device and download activities
  • show activity details and statistics
  • save TCX / FIT file to SD card
  • send the activity file via email
  • publish to Garmin Connect
  • send the activity to Strava
  • share to Facebook
  • send the activity via email or upload to Dropbox

with a compact user interface, designed for mobile phones and small-screen tablets.

If you have a Sony Xperia phone with an internal ANT+ chip, and an ANT+ Forerunner, you don't need any cable or USB dongle to make the two talk. The app can simply use the internal chip. See here for details.

Otherwise, please keep in mind that this app requires access to the USB. The Android platform is very fragmented in USB support, especially on mobile phones. Known working phones and Garmin devices are listed here. 

Samsung devices keep having problems recognizing usb Garmin devices. Generally speaking, if you run into troubles, see here for details and instructions. 
If you still can't connect your device, or if your tablet / phone is not listed, please turn on device diagnostics under "options", then click "get new" and send me the log: I'll do my best to help you.



                      The app is available on google play: go get it!

Supported Garmin devices

The Uploader uses the same communication layer powering Sportablet, so it supports the same set of Garmin devices:
Forerunner 201, 301, 205, 305
Forerunner 110 and 210
(most likely, the new Forerunner 10 as well)
Forerunner 405 / 405CX / 410 requires settings: see here for details.
Forerunner 310XT, 610, 910XT, 60, 70 requires settings: see here for details.
Edge 205 and 305
Edge 500, 605, 705 and 800
eTrex 30, Legend HCx, Foretrex 401, Oregon 550t, GPSMap60CSX (spanner mode)
Also reported working with:
Astro 200 and Montana.
Garmin Fenix.

The Edge 500, 705 and 800, as well as the Forerunner 110 and 210, will mount as flash drives. That may require a little time (up to 30 seconds). The device won't be seen until it gets mounted.


Known working phones / tablets

Here is a list of tested device / phone (or tablet) combinations. In some cases (mostly for the Samsung), the Android ROM version can be important. The Garmin Firmware version is reported for completeness, but it's usually irrelevant - if you have a different firmware version, it's very likely that it will work anyway. 
Most likely, many other tablets amd phones will work just as well. Give it a try, and if you run into troubles, get in touch.

Check ROM version, might not work with others!




must use powered usb hub
connect the garmin to the hub, the hub to the otg adapter, the otg adapter to the tablet (in this exact order)







older ROM versions won't work; generally speaking, ROM version is critical in the S3




mind the G, the regular S2 usually does not work with the 305.
