Question about Garmin 520plus / strava

[Sandy]

Hi All, Maybe not the right place for this and if that's so then I apologise now. I fitted a Garmin 520 plus on my Levo HT and so far i'm loving it.

But i have a question, how the heck do i get my custom segments out of Strava and onto my 520? The strava app just says "no routes" whenever I try to sync it. The app and the Connect app are linked and i can see no obvious reason why it won't work.

You need a Strava-Premium account to manage segments. (I think)

 

[Sandy]

There is no premium now, just 3 packs you can buy (presumably having all 3 is the full equivalent) so which pack do I need? I got a month of Summit (analysis pack) to test thinking that was the pack that controlled the segments.

Maybe this helps:
Edge 1030 and Strava Segments - Edge 1030 - Cycling - Garmin Forums

 

[McInner1]

And... Strava segments have to be enabled in GC and Garmin segments deselected:

What if I cannot get my segments to load to my Garmin?
Your Garmin may still be set to use Garmin Segments, instead of Strava segments. To check this, open Garmin Connect and add segments to your dashboard. From here you can change the settings to use Strava Segments. After the change is made, sync your device with Garmin Express and your segment settings will be updated.

Strava Live Segments on your Garmin Edge 1030 (Summit)

Found that page already. I have my segments saved as favourites and starred. But there is no way to sync them as such. I see then in strava app. When I go to segments under training in connect app it takes me to strava app and my segments. But doesn't seem to give me any option to sync between apps or devices.

I'm sure someone has managed it and will tell me in a couple of easy steps where I've got wrong lol

I have the exact issue. I have yet to find the time to call Garmin and get it sorted.

Just in case it's the same as for the Wahoo device that i use; I star the segment in strava, then connect the wahoo to the companion app on my phone, then select the sync option on the "wahoo device", then the starred segments appear on the wahoo device.

I know it isn't a garmin but maybe the process is the same?
