Syncing garmin 520 to strava

[Slinkie]

Hi all,

I did my first ride this morning with my garmin. I'm trying to sync it to my strava but can't seem to get it to work. I have garmin connect on my phone (iPhone 6s) and it has synced via Bluetooth. My strava app has been linked to the garmin but nothing has been synced between them. Am I missing something? When my garmin synced to my phone it gave me a pin to enter however I can't find anywhere to enter this.

What do I need to do?

Shouldn't need to do anything as far as I know. When I sync my 800 to Garmin connect via the pc it automatically syncs to strava because I've linked the two. You do need to give strava permission to access garmin account, have you done that?

Maybe check on the strava website to make sure that it's allowing Garmin to access it and vice versa.

When my ride is sent to the Garmin app, once I can see it on there on my phone it's on Strava (Edge 520)

The garmin connect says it is connected to Strava but can't see anything in Strava on the website or app that tells me it is working the other way around.

I don't have premium strava if that makes a difference?

Edit: I have just seen this. Still can't figure this out though. If both are connected what am I missing?



Edit 2: It is in my garmin connect so it has synced from my 520 to my phone.

Hmm how strange, the only other thing I can think of is what happened with the mrs.

Check that the garmin account that you are logged into on your phone is the same one thats linked to strava. Somehow she managed to create two garmin accounts and was logged into the wrong one.
