I bought a garmin edge 200 couple of weeks ago. Syncs fine through garmin express and rides upload fine, but when I try to send a course created in Garmin Connect, I get something like 'no compatible device found'.

Anyone else experienced this an if so how did you overcome?

I am using a Mac. OS up do date

Tried emailing garmin twice now. No reply (nor have they answered phone yet)

Cheers

    I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a reply from Garmin.

    I believe they are working on the "Send to Device" function at the moment as some devices (200/500/510) are having problems receiving the data.

    Some users are commenting also that the "Send to Device" button does nothing at all.

    You could always manually export I suppose?

    I think you need the latest plugin for your browser. If you are not using Garmin Connect's old interface, I would recommend switching to it. When I did so I was prompted to download and install the latest plugin version through Chrome and everything has worked well since then.
  • I too have a garmin 200 and cannot send any courses to the device when in modern mode.
    The only solution I have found is to temporarily switch back to the old style to send to the device then switch back.

    I wonder if the new modern dashboard has compatibility issues with non-ANT devices.

    OK. So I looked for possibility to manually export a course as a gpx from Connect to my hard drive and could see nothing obvious at all. Just the "send to device button" which is giving me the grief

    So I also switched to "classic view" and then was able to send to device perfectly fine

    Trouble is, if I understand right, access to the "classic view" will not last forever, with Garmin due to remove at some point. Lets hope they sort this issue out as, otherwise, can't see any other way to send courses to device
