mobile garmin uploader

The Uploader for Garmin

The Uploader for Garmin provides the essential features implemented in Sportablet, with a compact user interface, designed for mobile phones and small-screen tablets.

connect to your Garmin device and download activities
show activity details and statistics
save TCX / FIT file to SD card
export activity as GPX
send the activity via email or upload to Dropbox
publish to Garmin Connect , Endomondo, Strava, SportTracks, Training Peaks, RunningAHEAD, Runtastic (see here for limitations on Runtastic)
share to Facebook
Import TCX / FIT files from SD card or flash drives
The app can also send tracks / courses to some Garmin devices (see here). This feature will be gradually implemented for all the supported Garmin devices.

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. 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.

Note: some Garmin devices (FR305, most Edge models, the Fenix) tend to drain too much power from the USB. Some phones / tablets can't handle that. Some will warn about a "high power device" being connected. Some won't, but still silently disconnect the USB. In those cases, you have to provide external power, using a powered USB hub or a USB Y-cable and a charger.

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 10, 110 and 210
Forerunner 405 / 405CX / 410 require settings:
see here for details.
Forerunner 310XT, 610, 910XT require settings:
see here for details.
Forerunner 50, 60, 70 require settings:
see here for details.
Garmin Swim 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)
Astro 200 and Montana.
Garmin Fenix. (usb cable).

The Edge 500, 705 and 800, as well as the Forerunner 10, 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.
