Thanksgiving 2020

  The two Thanksgiving badges can be awarded on Thursday November 26th. They are not repeatable so if you have them from a previous year you can't take them again. "Record an activity on Thanksgiving" "Record an activity and burn 300 calories on Thanksgiving" Remember to change the country to one of these: Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, United States Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting

How to get a geo located badge - Single activity. Not triathlon...yet

Update: In January 2021 Garmin made some changes that stopped TCX files from being used for badges and challenges. I've got a report that it works if you convert the file to a FIT file and set a Garmin device as creator. Many of the badges can be awarded by just changing the country and then doing the required activity, distance and time, but there are also a number of location specific badges where that doesn't work like that. The most recent ones are the triathlons in Taiwan. What I've read is that the start and end locations must be at the correct location. So, how can we still get those badges? I managed to get one of the older geo located badges: Gatchina Half Marathon 10K 2019 The description is: Run the Gatchina Half Marathon 10K in Gatchina, Russia, on November 17, 2019. The idea was: Get the course Add timestamps Upload to Garmin Connect I found a course in Garmin Connect:  https://connect.garmin.com/modern/courses Searched for Gatchina and set the distance to 8-1
