Couple of things with my garmin I'm wondering about,
When riding locally alone I like it when the strava segments come up on screen so I push myself but it only seems to come up with about 25% of my saved segments. I deleted all of my saved segments and put a few local ones on and it still didn't show them?
Is there a way of it showing all or ones of my choosing?
Secondly, and much shorter. What's the best app for adding saves routes to garmin?
Cheers
Segments - are the missing ones downhills? They wont show
Routes - Strava to Garmin works very well. Otherwise Komoot would be next for me
For offroad stuff, I'm guessing most of the Segments are descents. Strava has disabled the alerting for those, so you won't get any for those.
You could try and transfer the Strava segments that you like to Garmin and use the Garmin segments instead of Strava on your Garmin unit - I think they will show (you'll be uploading your ride to Strava so will still show on the various segments there).
No it's boring local stuff, reason I want it it to make it more exciting. Not bothered about my 'proper' mtb routes in the peaks etc because I'm concentrating on the trail more.
I'll have a look at transferring them over. Might be a good idea that, although I'm not great at tech!
I *think* (am new to Garmin too) that if the segment is within a route, but you starred the segment after downloading the route to your Garmin, it won't have downloaded the segment start and finish points.
Delete route and re-download to head unit?
But on that point, will a Garmin alert you to segments if you're not following a route?

Unless I'm misunderstanding: Garmin's own? (Garmin Connect)

Yes, as it does for me and I do use it to follow a route as I tend to follow my nose and look about rather than down at the Garmin. 😉
