Garmin express for chromebook

Are manual workarounds that are far far from ideal.It has been several years now and Garmin has not done anything to help users who use Chromebooks only, or a Windows/Mac machine with no Administrative rights to install the Garmin Connect software.Garmin, if you are reading this, please consider supporting software updates and syncing of your devices on Chromebooks or through the Chrome browser with an extension. Not all of us have admin access to a Windows based machine just to sync up devices and update software or other settings. This functionality is long overdue.RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 03 Jan 2015 21:21:55 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:5f2759a9-4473-4bee-bba0-43edfbddcc1cchris_in_calUsing my Chromebook, I've figured out how to manually load all of my "activities" (the Garmin .fit file) from my FR15 to Garmin connect.Using my Chromebook, I've also figured out how to manually upgrade my FR15 "Firmware" (the Garmin .rgn file) for the device. Garmin Express and Chromebooks are not compatible as far as I can tell. However, everything one can do with a Apple/Microsoft product and Garmin Express can be done manually with just the FR15 and my chromebook. As far as I can tell. YMMV.RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 27 Dec 2014 19:27:01 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:a9dd9840-8db5-4712-8495-999f52796192chris_in_calActually for a Chromebook user the FR15 is substantially different from an old Timex in that there is manual "import" on the Garmin connect site. So runs can be uploaded. Though the FR15 cannot have any firmware updates or other syncs. Just straight file transfer *.fit up to the Garmin Connect site. So

Then for all my work. Very disappointed to see that Garmin doesn't support Chromebooks.me too. Garmin, where's the chromebook support??RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 20 Jul 2014 22:14:16 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:2500c0d9-4d1c-456d-92c2-91c10b50dc4fFormer MemberSame problem here. I ditched Windows 2 years ago and have used a Chromebook since then for all my work.

All I have at home is a Chromebook. My Moto X phone has constant sync / pair issues. I'm ultra-annoyed at both Garmin AND Google. You'd think they would be able to figure this out pretty easily since they have global staffs and market capitalization of $11.7 and $190 BILLION. Are they waiting for some user to check out their API and just do it for them???RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 25 Apr 2014 02:02:12 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:c051eacd-f1e8-4a5f-b169-9d560e8c394egeo-bikeHOW ABOUT THIS, GARMIN:ALL OF US WITH CHROMEBOOKS & MACS DITCH GARMIN CONNECT AND FIND SOMEONE WHO DOES AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US.INCLUDING IN-CLOUD BIKE ODOMETERS FOR MULTIPLE BIKES; SHOE MILAGE TRACKER; AND FULL CHROMEBOOK SUPPORT.THIS IS INEXCUSABLE.

Garmin Connect on Chromebook I realize that a Chromebook cannot install software and therefore lacks the ability to add either the Communicator app or Ant-Agent, I have always been able to upload via another computer and still be able to access everything on my Chromebook.en-USTelligent Community 11RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 03 Jan 2023 14:22:26 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:1f1c3d35-2e23-493a-a153-74923802f358SchettersJosIf Garmin will not change its polecy (excuse my bad English) my next watch wil not be a Garmin anymore.

Apparently, Garmin chooses not to keep up with technology. Pushing us even more to using all other GPS technology that is ALL device friendly. I've been using a Chromebook for years now also. No more windows. So, I guess I will also stop using my Garmin GPS. Too bad, It was a good tool in the 1990s. So much for Lifetime Maps and Traffic, apparently (only if you use Windows.) Garmin, are you listening to all of us???

There is that.RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 13 Dec 2014 21:58:53 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:c0829baf-81f8-4ff6-97a8-358276879716jim_m_58Aw, I feel really disappointed. Sure I didn't do my homework, but, anyway.I have an ancient Timex Ironman watch and the battery is dead. I'm wondering how a completely isolated standalone FR15 will be substantially different? With a chromebook I don't seem to really have any option to use my FR15 much more than that ol' Ironman. I'm complaining alot here, I just unwrapped it. I'll give it a couple of days to see what it can do all isolated and alone. Maybe I'll see the addon value of it.Do you have a friend with a PC or Mac, Maybe one at work? Something you can use to sync, in other words.RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 13 Dec 2014 21:20:06 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:06446b44-bc56-429c-b46c-a56a60a611c7chris_in_calAw, I feel really disappointed.
