Connecting Garmin and permissions

Created by Marius Lazar, Modified on Mon, 8 Dec, 2025 at 11:58 AM by Marius Lazar

You can connect your Garmin watch to the app to automatically sync your cycling and other activities.

How to Connect Garmin

  1. Open the app and go to "MORE"
  2. Select "Connections" or "Wearables"
  3. Tap "Garmin Connect"
  4. You will be redirected to the Garmin login page
  5. Log in with your Garmin credentials
  6. Important: Allow all requested permissions (see below)

⚠️ Permissions are Critical

When connecting, various permissions are requested. Please allow all, even if they say "Health data".

Why?

  • We only need distance and duration of your routes
  • This data is stored under "Health data" in Garmin
  • We do NOT receive other health data like heart rate, sleep, etc.
  • Without this permission, we cannot retrieve your routes

Sync Not Working?

  1. Update Garmin Connect app: Pull down to refresh
  2. Disconnect and reconnect: Go to MORE → Connections, disconnect Garmin, reconnect and allow all permissions
  3. Check in Garmin Connect: Make sure your activity shows in the Garmin Connect app

Sync Delay

Synchronization can take several hours. We have no influence on when Garmin sends us the data.
