EXTERNAL: Garmin integration
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)

Die Aktivierung der automatischen Synchronisierung für Garmin Connect ist sehr wichtig. Viele Nutzer haben Garmin. Ich hoffe dies geschieht bald.

Vielen Dank! Aber wie lassen sich die Daten automatisch hochladen um von Garmin berechnet zu werden?

Ist es in nächster Zeit angedacht sich mit Garmin Connect zu verbinden?

Automatically share TrainingPeaks Virtual with Garmin

In the meantime, I wrote a small program to "fake" the device so garmin will count TPV rides towards training status and such: https://github.com/jat255/fit_file_uploader

Who do we need to call at Garmin to get this fixed, seems like such a small API possibility yet massive need for the TPV users.
It's a shame we can do this with strava but not Garmin.

I'm all in on the Garmin ecosystem and dislike the direction Strava has gone recently as a "middle man." I'm glad to see this is planned.

Please can you look at a direct sync with Garmin after a workout. It does sync with Strava but I’d love Garmin to sync at the same time.
My Garmin is connected to Training Peaks and Strava so this would be great to keep everything together.

Agreed, this is critical for athletes managing their training load and recovery through Garmin. Manually uploading FIT files is annoying, load is not recognised and if your Garmin account is linked to Strava then you get a second activity added to strava after the native sync version from TPV (then have to manual delete Strava duplicate). I'll be very happy to pay for TPV when Garmin Sync is enabled.

I really need TPV to upload to Garmin Connect. I’ll use another platform until until it’s fixed.

It’s surprising this wasn’t recognized as a primary need, or at least some way to auto sync with Strava. Maybe I’m missing something…

When I do a ride on TP Virtual, it does not sync to Garmin Connect. Garmin Connect as a result thinks I've given up working out.

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
