Garmin Edge 520-Strava Live Segments How too

super_prestige

I dont know if any will find this heplful or not, but i thought it may be of use to a few.
After reciveing my new Garmin 520,the basic set up was fairly straight forward
As i have Strava premium i wanted to utlise the live segments function,easier said than done, i couldnt find a staight forward guide on how to set it up.
This is the way i did it.

Link you strava to you garmin account ( Fire Fox wouldnt allow this i needed to use Chrome)

Once both are linked go to my segments in strava, if you already have segments marked you will need to unmark then remark them.
Once marked they will appear in your segments tab in Garmin Connect.
Then just sync the device.

Once synced on to the device you will need to Enable all the segments.
Go to menu,
Training,
Strava Live Segments,
Segment options,
Enable/Disable,
Enable all.

Thats it all segments will be active and Live, just remember you will need to have Strava Premium.

If you are not a Strava Premium user then I believe the info in this video works too:-

- Just star the segments you are interested in, on Strava.
- Sync the Garmin with Garmin Express.

Anyone know how to get the 3 months free strava premium trial. My account has not been upgraded after loading rides with the 520.

I haven't done anything about Live Segments on my 520, and yet whilst out and about, a few Live Segments do pop up.
It shows the name of the bloke (or woman, ahem!) above you, and your time to beat.
No idea how the Garmin has chosen which segments to display...?
