About 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

I ditched Windows 2 years ago and have used a Chromebook since then for all my work. Very disappointed to see that Garmin doesn't support Chromebooks.RE: Garmin Connect on Chromebook 25 Jun 2014 12:46:04 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:ba0952d0-bb7a-429e-b365-4c2487804507Nordman_BrettMy work inter / intranet blocks Garmin Express so I can't sync there. 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.
