Upload Data directly to Garmin and allow it to be counted for on device metrics (
Being able to upload data directly to Garmin and have metrics (training load, vo2 etc) calculated as per the other online platforms (TrainerRoad, Zwift etc)

hi Douglas. I think this is a garmin thing which I've also experienced. I've suggested it to garmin on their ideas page too. the more people who ask garmin for this the better.

Enable automatic synchronization for Garmin Connect.
It doesn’t make sense to have it for Strava but not for Garmin Connect, especially considering that many devices are from Garmin.
Whenever I tried to manually import the .FIT file, it didn’t work. I attempted the process using my phone.
I canceled my Zwift subscription hoping to have this automatic functionality available.

Yes please. The manual work around is a real pain.

Current workaround (detailed explanation):
Ensure your TPV ride is present in TP.
Open the ride in TP, click Files, and download the .fit.gz file.
This is a compressed .fit file — you need to decompress it to get the .fit file.
Then, import the .fit file on the Garmin Connect site -

i dont mind manually uploading the .FIT file but at least VTP should make the file in such a wayt that it counts as a finished activity/towards your training status

Avete in programma questa funzione, la sincronizzazione con Garmin, o no? Perché in caso contrario vedo difficile l'uso di TPV e sarebbe un peccato

The extra time taken to convert files so that Garmin is tricked as to where the source was is a pain

It would be great if garmin is motivated enough to have a sync with tpv just like there is with other tools. Hopefully it helps that it is now part of Trainingpeaks

Workaround: download finished workout ride from training peaks data (not tpv) and upload into garmin account.

Jonathan Getz commented
yes please!

"The FIT file from TPV isn't saved as a finished workout; it is just a course ride.
This is critical because no finished workout data from TPV sessions is being saved to my Garmin account."

Dual recording is not an option.
Sure the problem is Garmin but the FIT files produced by TPv are very simple right now.
Some of the data from FIT files is used by e.g. Garmin to calculate training metrics. Some are proprietary but others are not.Can you please add:
max power, average power, normalized gradient, normalized power, threshold power (as configured in TP), intensity factor, total work, average heartrate, max heartrate, average cadence, max cadence, workout RPE (as used in TP too)Yeah, that's what I came across so far.
So if Garmin won't accept an official connection please enable us users to help ourselves by improving the FIT files. Uploading to Garmin is possible with workarounds.

whilst this would be an important addition, I am dual recoding on my Garmin device as well as TP Virtual and then I'll just edit the activity in app with the distance details from the TPV ride.

Garmin Connect Sync feature available.

When I upload file from strava (currently can’t use training peaks file as it is a fit.gz file) it does not have training load for garmin to add load to your workout.
-
Paul Cayer commented
Yes, I agree. This should happen asap as the majority of athletes use garmin

Ninad Kandekar commented
This is a key requirement to have activities imported automatically in Garmin Connect and not manually or through a workaround.

I track all my training on Garmin Connect. This app pre-dates Strava and covers activities beyond cycling. This is a critical application for me. It is my one stop for looking at my summary training, tracking miles on my bikes and activities like Diving, Strength Training, Swimming, Hiking...

There's already an open request for this with many more votes.

From DC Rainmaker:
"They stopped accepting inbound training platform applications many years ago, roughly a bit after the Tacx acquisition (as they half-heartedly want you to us the Tacx App). A number of other training platforms have requested access since.
The only one they’d accept these days, if requested, would be Peloton (since the benefit to Garmin far outweighs the handful of people that might be overlap). But doesn’t sound like Peloton is interested in that."
